'96 FogLight Mod
The relay should be fine.. it has electricity running through it... 
Also did you wire it like written in the first post, OR the way I described it? on this page?
My way allows the fog lamps to be on with the marker lights and ALSO autoturn off when you turn the car off and LEAVING the switch on.

That's why I asked about the relay being warm/hot, wanted to make sure I didn't do anything wrong.
I may even end up just going back to normal in my fear of burning my car to the ground. haha

******UPDATE********
IF the Fog lights are OFF from the steering wheel switch, they WILL NOT flash with the parking lights...
THey only flash with the parking lights if you leave the foglight on, and they "auto shut-off" with the switch still in the on position.
'99 FogLight Mod
Great DIY pics and write up SC300Star!
I have a 99 SC300. It works perfect! Even with the park lights off and the car off...
For those of you that are on the "huskier side" like myself, be sure to un screw the black kick panel under the steering column to get to this relay. I tried the other night and only saw the lower park light relay and assumed it was the right one... I got under there again tonight - and found the correct relay.
By the way - I have 4300k HID's in the fogs and it works with no issues.

And if they flash with the fog swich on and they auto shut off. you would physically have to turn them off for them not to which is the same as the first setup. turning them off. I like the second setup i just dont want to mess up my HID's
Will this hurt the HID system in anyway, because i was gonna switch to the second version but if this isnt good for HID's ill just remember to switch em off.

I just tried to do this and I ran into a problem.
The 15 fuse that needed the fuse tap wouldnt go back into place with the fuse tap on, i tried for about 2 hours and no luck. how did you guys do it? I have a 98 by the way if that matters.

Yup, you can still turn it off. The fog lights become completely independent from the low beams. You can turn on and off whenever you want.
I've been wanting a way so that the fog lights DO NOT turn off when the high beams turn ON. There were a couple threads a while ago pertaining to just this subject but nobody figured out a way to do this. I do a lot of dark canyon driving where there are no lights and its pitch black. It would be nice to have a little bit more light.

Right. I think in most states, you can not have more than 4 forward lights on at one time.
I had made a custom harness for my 92 (97 conversion) and tapped the parking light as a 12v switch so that my fogs turn on as my parking light did also. I had HID on them and they flash every time I lock/ unlock the car and never had a problem with them for 1+ year.
