Straight wire Mr.B?
That means your fogs will turn on your headlights just by turning on the fogs only.
My diode is still perfectly fine, maybe because I run low power LEDs in the fogs?

Hmm, I wonder if the LEDs is the difference. I don't ever run with just the parking and fog lights on, so this will work just fine for me.

I ran the straight wire last night. Now, the fogs come on with the headlights on low, but when I switch to high beams, the fogs turn off. With the diode the fogs stayed on for both high and low beams. Anybody else have this? Seems strange.

My diode just popped, now they don't turn on with the headlights, about to put HIDs in my fogs, I need to run a straight wire that's well insulated
