I've had the fog-mod done on my car and now I have problems with the fogs not turning on at all, or when they do turn on they shut off on their own after a random duration.

We kind of cheated when doing the mod and instead of running a wire between the two contacts just dropped solder across them instead, which has worked fine in other people's cars.

So I have two questions:
1) Will the headlights operate if the fog relay box is completely removed (I don't want to buy a relay unless mine is busted, but I drive a lot at night so before I take it out to work on it....)

2) Should desoldering the two contact points and dropping in a wire fix the problem?

Thanks in advance...

As for the fogs being finnicky, it's just your soldering job. A couple weeks after I did mine they started cutting out now and then. So I just popped out the relay and redid the solder job with wires. That should fix your problem.

when you open it up, make sure the connections are all still in place (did a solder come undone?).

check to verify that you cut and filed the pins off as much as required to not make contact.

Yeah, replace that solder joint with a wire.

Check that you made all the correct connections.

Check to make sure that nothing is shorting when you put on the cover.

Make sure your wire is thick enough. I judged this by the thickness of the existing traces (in the PC board) that the given signal used.
