FL Foglight mod, run independent of park lights and headlights, using factory fog swi

[71camaro]

Well, I figured out how to operate the fog lights off the stock switch while remaining independent of the headlight switch. I've seen numerous discussions about this, and the consensus seems to have been that either the parking lights would need to be illuminated, or an additional switch would be needed.That isn't the case. The only functionality I've lost is the auto-off provided when the high beams light. Frankly, I don't consider that much of a loss. While I understand that there are jurisdictions in which that is illegal, I want the most lighting I can have at night, and once my xenon-plus lamps arrive from Germany, I won't have too many beams illuminated anyway.

In order to make this all work correctly, I cut the wire running to pin 17 on the foglight control module. I then had switched 12v run to that pin instead (originally it was fed via the headlight switch). I removed the feed to pin 15 and replaced it with switched 12v. In removed the feed to pin 12 and did not replace it (that killed the lights when the high beams operated before, but with a constant feed to pin 15, any power to pin 12 would have been problematic).a

I'm now using the feed off the headlights that went to pin 17 to wire up a relay that'll run some ambient interior lighting, once that's completed I'll have info on that as well.
