I just installed the JWest fog light flash module. It took me about a half hour and the provided instructions were clear and effective. I debated using Demick's
foglight rewiring instructions but didn't want to cut my harness at all.

The best feature of this modification is that you can sit in the car in your garage and flash the fogs on and off and pretend you are telling Steve McQueen to get out of your way at LeMans! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have no hibeams after, but I think it was PO wiring that did me in. I tried puting things back the way I found them, but it was too late... Damage done.

what year is your car? Mine is a 1970.

Hmm, I haven't tried the highbeams. I literally never use them anyway. I'll see if they work when I get home.

I wonder if Craig's "Pilot" foglight mod would make up the difference if you didn't have a high beam after the mod? I've ordered both the Flash Module and the Pilots.

Just tested, and my highbeams work fine.

Tossing in easy stuff like this with immediate, visible results in between the higher learning curve stuff has helped build my confidence and not burn out.

Next up will be Pilots from Camp and/or the "Hella Vision Plus" H4 conversion from Performance Products.

And it will be a loooong time before my monster catches up to CMXIV! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
