First off, I really hope this isn't already answered somewhere because I looked all over. As a disclaimer, I read the independent fog light thread and jumping the pins doesn't work because my car is an early model. I also looked at this DIY and it sounds like people have had trouble with the lights always staying on afterwards, as well as things like smoking fuse boxes (!).
My car is an '87 with a euro smiley conversion I did a few months ago. I didn't rewire the fuse box, I just jumped the relay pins. I just got around to installing fog lights into my iS front air dam, and the process was painless. Plugged the lights right into the stock plugs, tested them and they worked.
My issue is this. With the key in the "on" position or the car running, pressing the fog light button with the lights off does this:
Fog light button pressed with lights in the "running light" position:
Fog light button pressed with lights in the "on" position:
Is there anything I can do to get the fogs to work in the first two positions, or to keep them off when the lights are on? I know the law says only four lights can be on in the front of a vehicle and this would allow 6 with the high beams on.
