So I wired things directly as described in Richard V6's very helpful diagram - but I'm blowing fuses immediately - started with a 10 amp fuse and went up to a 35 amp fuse and the fuse blows immediately when flipping the dash switch. I do hear the relay clicking when I throw the switch - so that seems to be working...should I go to a higher amperage fuse? The fuse really pops when it blows...

I drew the power for terminal 30 on the relay directly from the terminal on the ignition cutoff switch that the PO installed in the footwell. I combined both the red wires for both foglights onto the spade connector at terminal 87 on the relay...

I was pretty meticulous with the wiring, all connections were soldered and shrink wrapped. I used one snap connector and soldered bullets to connect the existing yellow/red wire from the switch to the red wire to terminal 86 on the relay. I used this 40 amp Bosch relay

When wiring the foglights I wired the red wire to the contact that touches the bulb, and the black wire to the contact that touches the foglight shell/body.

Shouldn't be the grounds - they're all on soldered eyelets to sturdy bolts/nuts on the radiator supports.

I seem to have a short somewhere...can't figure out where. Unless even the 35A fuse is too small...should I jump the inline fuse as a test? (could let the smoke out...) The fuses I bough from Amazon were from overseas and very cheap for a large selection...

Would appreciate any thoughts from the group...

Best,
