BoxsterSteve:

I appreciate the advice. When your talking about a higher amperage fuse are you referring to the A6-A9 jump or using the Canadian DLR relay. In both cases, what amperage fuse do I need to use and in which fuse slots.

As a follow-up question, I agree all light on is overkill. I read somewhere that the Fog light only hack will eventually damage the lenses because the standard bulbs generate a lot of heat that doesn't dissipate on very hot sunny days. The person who said this suggested replacing the fog lights with H7 LED bulbs. Do you have any advice to share on this point.

BTW: I'll check the relay box this morning to see if it has the necessary slots for a DLR relay. If it does, I'll need to find a way to see if slot 6 is wired before I buy a DLR relay. Hopefully, the wiring diagram will show me a way to test this.

Thanks

Thom
