I've read about the need to put a load on the circuit when installing the LED headlights so the fogs will still work with the low beams but I can't find any information on how to do that.
Where might I find this oh wise ones? |

I went with Option 1a. It was a very simple process/modification.

But a personal caveat: you can accidentally leave your parking lights on, you might not notice it. After two dead batteries I installed a piezoelectric buzzer in my dash as a "DOH!" audible reminder to turn off my lights. |
