LED Headlight with fog light issue...

[-=Jeff=-]

Yeah, I know it has been posted and gone over several times.

BUT

Now time to post my solution I used on my 1990

**Disclaimer: Findings based on my 1990 and FSM, other years may vary**

In the FSM the shows that the Fog light relay grounds through the High Beam. When the high beams are activated in the OEM solution, 12v is applied on both sides of the coil for the relay which then causes the lights to turn off.

When we switch to LED, the high beam filament is replace with electronics, so that does not work so well. Most use resistors, which to me, still gives the load of a Halogen/ Filament light, yes it works, but I want the efficiency benefit.

I acquired a socket and relay from a donor harness I have, I added the relay to my harness to accomplish what I need. Here are the details:


Find the Fog Lamp relay. in my 1990 it is the furthest to the right under the dash.. Look for the Light Green wire. that is the wire you need to manipulate..

Unpin the LT GRN from the current relay move it to 86 of the added relay.

Pin a new wire in the spot where you removed the LT GRN (it is either 85 or 86), Pin the other end of this wire to 87a of your added relay.

On the added relay, Pin 30 and Pin 85 are both connected to ground.

Done, no wires cut, not relays tampered with. I have not installed LED Headlights just yet, but got the car ready for them. So this should work without issue. works fine with my current lights. I will be adding LED Headlights and LED Fog Lights soon.
