I've replaced my OEM fogs with Hella 500 driving lights and I didn't use the relay. I've read in the forums here and at JU that the relay is necessary, and I am convinced.
My question is this: In the wiring diagrams (Haynes book) it looks like there is a relay in place already for the stock fogs. Is the existing relay not strong enough for the Hella's? Should I replace it with the one in the kit or just wire around the whole thing and install a seperate switch/relay? I like the idea of not having to re-wire, but if the existing stuff can't handle it, then I'll do it.
