99.5 Fog re-wire question

[KoukiS14]

Last year, I did the fog light mod. I'm using the factory relays, and I have the switch power for the fogs running to the switch power to the A/C.

My driver's side fog light bulb died, so I replaced that. Recently, my passenger side fog light also stopped working, so I got a bulb and proceeded to replace it. Not only was the bulb that was there fine, but I noticed the plastic surrounding the plug for the ground wire was melted (driver's side was perfectly fine). I soldered on a new wire (I'll do it right and get a blade connector soon, lol) and it works fine.

My question is, is using the switch power for the A/C a bad idea? Did this melt the plug, or was it possibly something else? My opinion is that the switch power for a given relay isn't going to be more than the next relay, especially one that's the same exact part.

Note: I had no problems for a very long time.

It's prolly fine -- I didn't have any problems this morning. I just have to re-do my crappy soldering job.

I use the same A/C switch, longer than you for sure, withno problems

Sweeeeet. . it's probably fine. May have melted from something else, possibly heat from the light or maybe it got some water in there and shorted, I have no idea. It was a super easy fix regardless, and damage was very very minimal.

Also, I drove around with 'em on and then popped it open and took a whiff -- no burning electrical stuff.

Thanks G!
