i would also like to know of a kit but as far as i know you have to jimmy rig it...im gonna have to do this to get passed the inspection so heres instruction to use a bosch type foglamp relay


Mount the relay under the hood. Hook a wire to the bat + with a inline fuse, and then run that over to terminal #30 on the relay.

Hook a wire to terminal #87 on the relay, and then run that over and strip the insulation away from the highbeam wire, and hook this wire in.

Hook a wire to #86 on the relay, and run that over to one of the fenders and tie it into the brown wire feeding one of the marker lights, or run it with the #87 wire and tie it into the brown wire at one of the front marker lights.

Hook a wire to #85 on the relay, and run this wire all the way through the firewall to the fuse box. Buy a fuse tap at the parts store, put it behind the radio fuse or some other ignition on fuse, and hook the #85 wire to that.
