2001 Chevrolet Tahoe
HID's in low beams and in fog lights, no issues when in stock mode.
I did the super easy 4 hi mod where you ground out the yellow wire in order to have the low beams stay on with the high beams, no issues there.
The issue I'm tackling, is getting the fog lights to stay on when the high beams are activated. I've read and watched all the videos I can, but the diodes I'm using are burning out and getting extremely hot. I'm using the 1n4004 from a local Radioshack that still survives, and I want to verify that I'm using the correct pins. When standing on the driver side and looking at the truck, I'm using the Top Left of the headlamp relay and the Top Right of the fog lamp relay. Pins 85 and 87 I believe.
Has anyone else run into this issue or have any advice? I'm wondering if the 1 amp 50 v diode just simply wasn't strong enough. I even soldered 2 of them in parallel and while they're lasting a bit longer, the solder itself is bubbling out from underneath the heat shrink.
I'm at a loss.
