So - here was an unexpected wrinkle with hooking up the old fog lights - the coding I currently have has the all-weather/corner lamp activation enabled when going round bends which causes the relay to go a bit buzzy and mad as the voltage ramps up & down analog style for a nice subtle transition on the lamp. I was driving in twilight when the buzzing started so it took me a couple of 'bad relay' swap outs before I figured it out.
So now I need to seek out the coding bit in the BCM to disable the corner function - I just want the fogs to be on when I push a button - I don't need a gazillion lines of software in the BCM doing this so called intelligent lighting function. An alternative solution might be to not use the relay for the 2nd lights but I was worried about pulling too much current out of the BCM. So I played safe and got buzzed, but better that than a frazzled BCM ;-)
Meantime the buzzy relay is on the bench so as not to raise my blood pressure any higher. I think its time for a beer to thin my blood.
