The guys at VintageCarLEDs.com are looking into what may be causing my problem. I am sure it is not their light, but something to do with the wiring. Probably my wiring. I know very little about LEDs, but I have an idea what to look for on this. Please chime in on your thoughts.

So here is the deal: Installed the very awesome LED headlights from VintagecarLEDs.com. They have been on the ball with customer service, helping me with the install on my 75.

Backdated bumpers with OEM fog lights. I wired them up and either did not document, or can't find any notes on the project. My Prosperos garage wire diagram for the 75 does not show fogs.

Everything worked fine with the non-LED headlights. Fogs are only on when the low beams are on, just like factory. So my only change is the LED install.

Taking a test run last night Low beams are awesome, High beams are awesome. Both need adjusting, of course.....>>> and decided to pull the switch for the FOG lights. At that point the headlights went to HIGH and would not switch back. I get the click with the blinker stalk pull, but no change on the headlights. Not sure if the fogs were on, probably not.

But that is my issue. I am thinking it is ground related. Don't LEDs want their own ground? Maybe I am sharing a ground with the fogs???

Please chime in.
