The only issues with any of these are the fog lights. The LEDs don't draw enough current to trigger the relay to high beam, and when things are rewired it can create problems.

We did an install at WCR with Rick and he had an issue with the fogs. We are providing him with small resistors that should "normalize" the system enough to work as it did with more load.

Mark, The resistors have not arrived yet so I tried Bruce @bdstone914 and Spoke's thread cutting the white/blue tracer foglight wire at #1 fuse added wire and attached it to Ground. Everything seems to be working today! High and Low beams, Fog light are working now with the LED's on and the Rt Headlight motor is not cycling.

Thanks, Rick
