Just installed H4 base LED headlight bulbs, now fog lights don't come on, but headlights get a tiny bit brighter. I guess I'll have to do the foglight wiring switch mod to by-pass the headlight switch, was hoping not to have to do this mod.

Anyone else bump into this problem ??

Yep - a common problem with the LED headlights messing with the fogs Try the fogs with high and then low beam. You get some strange behaviors.

The fix is to move the fog light ground from the high beam circuit directly to chassis ground.

There was a thread recently (late last year?) that dealt with exactly this issue.
