HID frog light conversion - resolved

It turns out that keeping the fog lights turned on regardless of the 
state of the high beams is simplicity in itself.

Open the fuse/relay box in the cowling area, pull the fog light relay 
(#209), and install a jumper between relay socket connectors 30 and 
87.  Then store the now unused relay somewhere safe (I put mine 
upside down in one of the empty socket positions inside the relay 
box) and close it all up.  Nothing to it.

Thanks for all the input, guys.
