Wow I had not run across that picture on your site before. That is very
handy.  Right now I have a standard relay in spot 10 which of course
does not give proper functionality.  The B/S connection was not empty,
but that does not mean the wire goes anywhere as I found out today when
I added park lamp functionality to my turn signals and discovered that
the third wire only goes back about 6" into the harness.

I will get a KH relay and give that a shot.

Just wired it up that way today, so good to have another confirmation.

Thanks for the help!
