I just finished installing factory-style foglamps in our GLT. Having done this in our S70 a few months ago, I'm familiar with the switching relay and the "market jumper" relay (for which I just use a wire). When I did the S70, I had the crazy double pole fog lamp relay that allows one to get the indicator on the switch to work as well as the lamps. However I haven't been able to find another in the yards. I modified a 240 metal central locking relay for now. The correct relays are outrageously expensive from Volvo. Has anyone found a source? this is not the standard Bosch five pin relay, which switches between two output contacts. It switches the power one way to both outputs simultaneously. A four pin will work, but no indicator on the switch (that's no fun). Any source or substitution suggestions shall be scooped up enthusiastically.

Thx!
Dave
