Here you go.

1) Standard 5 pin automotive 30 AMP relay and socket.
2) Pin 85 - ignition source...under hood. Ignition will be on through ignition/crank/run. YMMV on exact color/year etc. (multimeter required)
3) Pin 86 - chassis ground
4) Pin 30 - high current 12 volt constant source - ie; battery etc...
5) Pin 87 - hot side (+12) of fogs, common to both so you only need to connect one light for both to work.
6) Pin 87a - NOT USED

***********SOLDER ALL CONNECTIONS AND TAPE WELL**************

I don't remember the colors of the ignition source or the 12 volts constant I used, but it's easy to find with a multimeter or if someone here has a shop manual, they can tell you which color and where.

Keep the relay secured in a dry area, away from electronics.

Thanks FBA. Appreciate the help. Will try as soon as the nose goes back on.

Easy to do on a Gen 2. There is a relay that turns off the fogs if the highs come on. Cutting one leg off the relay allows all 6 lights to come on at once.

Instructions complements of Luc 2000GTS

Anyways, here is a free,5 minutes way to do it.
1/ open the hood
2/ Remove the Power Distribution Center black plastic cover
3/ Locate and remove the Fog lamp logic relay.(on my 2000, it is the last one closest to the windshield)
4/ Once it is removed you will see 5 tabs/prongs on it's bottom.
Each one have a # printed on the relay housing.
87
86
87A
85
It look like that:

Now you have to cut tab/prong # 86.
On the drawing above, that will be the horizontal tab on the top.
That's it, you are done.
Put the relay, plastic cover back on and enjoy the extra light.

I can't find the relay for the fog lamps. Anyone know where it is on a Gen3?

Doesn't work on a gen3. I'll try the other method.
