exact issue is this: with the LED headlight bulb (which are super btw!) in which if i turn on the fog lights the high berms go on, the relay will not leave the low beam on with the fogs on. Also i do have Spokewerks LED fog bulbs.
so what is the fix for this? do i add resistor, or do i change fog light relay?? Phil oh btw here is a picture of the difference between LED(drivers) and the stock incandescent(passenger) Attached thumbnail(s) |

i took the white wire with blue stripe that comes from the fog light relay, which normally terminates(grounds thru the negative on the fuse box #1 fuse, and grounded it to this chassis ground point, thus making it work independently from the high/low light circuit. now it’s on with its own switch and does not turn off when high beams go on either.
