I followed these instructions for conversion #2, which should allow me to keep the fog lamps on when high beams are on... but I can't seem to get this to work.
According to these instructions, on my car, terminal one only has one blue/white wire. My car was an 08/73 build, even though the VIN shows '74. The '74 wiring info doesn't match this car (and really, all of the features of the car are '73, such as the bumper and other minor things, so I'm treating it as a '73.) Can anybody guide me on this? I'm a little boggled. Thanks! |

Just to verify, use an Ohm Meter to check the resistance of the wire you cut to pin 85 of the F/L relay...just to be sure you are grounding the correct wire.

Right. Thanks... The description in the hack page isn't super clear. It's just "Do this, do that." Going to run out and check. |
