Default this mod very easy

Hardest put is pulling out the relay and getting it back in. Prepare to scratch up your hand.

Use the info on e Audi (<a href="http://64.164.196.5/eaudi/index.htm">http://64.164.196.5/eaudi/index.htm</a>) in the mods section.

Instead of pulling the relay apart, just solder on the face of the relay. Then cover up the wires and area you cut the pins off with a few layers of black electrical tape. I did this and it works great.

PS - Remember to solder the correct pins. I did the wrong ones which left me with "no fog light mod" the first time.

Default Just make sure that you only use the rear fog when it is needed..

like when you can't see the car in front of you except for their fog light.

I use mine in heavy daytime snow storms, when there is a white out, in heavy fog and very heavy rain in daylight.

I only run the one fog light though.. Don't want to have pile ups behind me because someone thought I was braking ;-)
