Problem is that the fogs are a split off the headlight wire that is only 18ga. Your maxing out that wire for power tranfser. Stuff starts to melt after long term abuse A simple bad ground could cause the issue. We all know that happens. But then again how often are you actually running your highbeams anyways? Prob not enough to worry much about it. brief intervals are nothing major. Biggest thing there is a possible popped fuse.

I can't remember without looking at my wiring but it is similar to the picture shown in this thread. What I "DO" remember is that there was an additional wiring change from one contact post to another. The reason for this is to not use the post that is hot with 12 volts all the time but use the post that is the low amperage ground side which is used for your switching parking lights.
I'm pretty sure the photo shown just above is the 'old configuration' which has the 12 volt hot load - look through the threads for a post by schnydz from 9/18/2006. Hope this helps!
