Driving lights -operation?

[Tom McCarthy]

Here is what we did. The Driving/Fog lights had several relays from
the original installation. Instead of pulling out the blue box and
tracing the schematics, we cut the original wires and installed a new
power supply to the lights. Now, with the ignition on, the switch
turns the lights on any time I want; alone, with HIGH beams or with
low beams. Thank you, American Express Platinum. Problem solved.
Actually, it was 1 hour labor and trivial parts costs.
