Where did you tap into the illumination circuit? Also what kind of led did you use? I have pretty much given up on this, but your post with the new wiring setup got me inspired. Ill try out that new setup tonight.
EDIT: My god it works. Out of all the combos I tried, I don't know how I missed this one. I used your setup to make the switch turn my front fogs on/off. This is what I have set up: 1. 12v + to aftermarket relay for front fogs. 2. 12v + from low beams 3. 12v + from low beams 4. 5. 6. Ground 7. Ground 8. Ground With this setup, the fogs can only get power when the low beams have power. I know a lot of people would rather be able to turn them on at any time, but I have had some bad luck with leaving my fogs on and draining my battery. I didn't tap into the illumination circuit because my led is dead and the switch didn't work if the illumination + and - weren't wired in some way. Once I get a new led I will hook it up to illumination, which brings me to another situation. I want my switch to light up only when the fogs are on, and the light is controlled by the dimmer switch. This way I have an indicator for when the fogs are on, and it is giving off the same light as the rest of the dash lighting. This is how I want to do it.... Let me know what you think.
