Looks good John. My TC had the left fog not working, found out power wasnt getting past the plug. Good thing for me I had an extra light harness!!! Did you guys ever get Ryans lights figured out?

I did have to run a new ground line to one of them.  Same issue, I had the ground to the plug, but not after it. 
As for Ryan's car, we believe we have it narrowed down to the dimmer switch in the column.  Only thing we haven't either replaced, or looked at.  He's trying to get the car back together so he can drive it.  Waiting to secure the new sunroof till he gets his sun shade back.  Sun shade and headliner is at the shop now getting redone.  We get that done and he'll reassemble the interior in it.  Then we'll have to do what we need to get those lights back on.

Need some help please.  I installed the relays tonight for the headlights.  I wish to run the fogs as well as the headlights and don't want to take any chances.    Everything works so far as required.    Problem I have is the vehicle sentry system now has a light indicating a headlamp is out.  The kit that I bought does not use the right side headlight plug.    It is all powered from the left hand plug.    I guess I'm asking if anyone else has had this issue and more importantly, how do I fool the sentry system into thinking the headlight is working?    Can I install a jumper line on the original headlight harness.  There are only three pr0ngs.  What ones would I use the jumper wire for and is it safe to do that?

Repost this specific issue over in Electrical Tech.  You should get more traffic that way.  Good luck!
