I tried the all headlight on mod im my lmm today. I put the diode in the fusebox as seen on the forum and it worked.

My question is should the diode wire that connects the fuses get really hot? I got a little wire burn on my finger when I touched it. My G/F said she saw smoke. Needless to say I took out the diode. Is it normal for it to get hot?

I can't imagine it getting that hot if you do the under the dash method.
 
P/N IN4001 Micromini from Radio Shack.

I am reading where there may be a kit invilved I guess.

I guess I was hoping for an easy wasy.
 
I ran a wire from my fog lamp relay to my park lamp relay and my fogs stay on all the time. Even with the in cab switch off. Now I can run all 6 lights at night. Do I risk cooking anything jumping the 2 relays? The wire didn't get hot like the diode wire.
 
Shouldn't run any risk. On my SSEi, I jumped the pins for the headlight ground where the relay is for the DRL's, as without the wire, the passenger high beam wouldn't work. As long as you used a decent size wire, there shouldn't be an issue.
 
Anything with juice running through it is gonna get hot. However, if you saw smoke, something's wrong.

Can you post a picture of what your fuse box looks like?
