Garm supplies these with the correct relay with his foglight kits.

Thanks anyway, I out grew stuffed animals and plastic rulers last year and I don't want to risk a regression.

I will let you know if I can't find anything locally. Is it really necessary to use both pins? I can't see what benefit that would have when they are just connected to each other a few inches away from the connector. I was only planning on using 1 pin, unless I end up with that connector of course.

The only extra power supply I have has all round and square pin connectors.

Thanks

Pic of your work? Curious to see exactly how you did the wiring.
I didn't want to wait to have to mail order the actual relay and I had all the parts on hand to do it this way.

Anyhow, here's a pic of the wires going to the relay plug. Not a lot of help, but you get the idea... these wires are connected to the contact pins of the relay included with my fog light kit.

For the switch, I used an illuminated rocker switch and mounted it next to the dimmer rheostat.
Scott,

I bought a fog light kit from DT Moto from Ebay, the did not send me the relay that goes under the dash.
What I understood is that switch powers the relay (close the contacts) using pin# 3 (headlight low beam)? and we can wire the contact points of the relay to the vertical pins of where the orgininal relay goes under the dash?

Followed a lot of threads by you and other members, just want to make sure I know what I am doing.

Thanks!

BTW, do you have the twin read wire that goes under the dash fuse box (positive foglight) and the original relay? I couldn't find it anywhere.

That is correct. The picture in #21 above shows that.

I have an extra one of the relays and the pins that you need for the under-hood fuse box, if you are interested.
