I must really have something important to do, because I've been
procrastinating a lot lately.

Anyway, after someone said they actually got the stock headlight switch
open, and modified, I figured I had give it a shot.   I got a new digital
camera with a macro for christmas, so I took pictures as I went along.

This is a fairly frivolous mod.  It adds the ability to run the fogs alone
without turning the knob to the lights ON position.  If you have the DRL
relay, it runs fogs and DRLs.. With no DRL relay, it runs fogs and nothing
else.

See http://rintintin.colorado.edu/~frechett/stuff/switchmod.htm

BTW, I have the Euroswitch installed, so I did this mod to my old stock
switch just for the hell of it.  I did test the circuit though.   I
suspect this mod could be made to the Euroswitch as well.  I just
haven't cracked it open yet.

This lighting option is probably not useful for driving in the fog, as you
are invisible from the rear, but it might be nice if you've disabled
the DRLs, but still want to be seen occasionally, without turning
on all the other lights.
