    Thank you sir. So your high beam light on your cluster lights up when you turn your fogs on? Is that just for preference?

    Yea, I used to have the 'fog light' switch on the center console. One time I forgot they were on when I got back on to the road. I was flashed a few times by oncoming traffic before I figured the fogs were on. The high beam indicator is a good reminder. The two diodes are to prevent voltage being feed into the daytime relay. I did not know if there would be a problem or not, so I installed the diodes to be safe.

    Oh okay, I can probably bypass that step since I would notice the fog lights on.

    Thanks to you, I was able to get it done! I just used the harness that came with my fog lights and everything is working flawlessly. Looks OEM for sure.

    I did this mod using the following parts:
    stalk - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CM3NSNPK
    relay - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07PK7F1MC
    the bigger pin came from this set - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DSB5XFYW
    the smaller pin I sourced from previous retrofit projects.
    Then some 18 ga wire and battery connectors.

    I added two pins to the turn signal plug, then ran both wires along the steering column harness under the dash, then thru the firewall rubber plug and along the left fender; currently I have it connected to ground and positive battery so fogs can be turned on/off independently, but will probably change one of the connections to headlights so fogs would also go off when you lock the car.
