Repair IC cluster
Apparently when I got the car repaired from the deer hit the body shop fiddled with my unorthadox wirng for the lo beam lockout of the hid fog lamps.
I had a relay wired so the coil grounded only with the HI beam was on through a switch. The hi beam controls going through the MFS are all grounds. This worked great for the year I've had it on the car. Turn on the switch and the fogs only come on with the hi beams. I use them as driving lamps and not fog lamps.
Any way when I got the car back the fogs are on all the time the headlights are on, except when the hi beams are on. And the hi beam indicator glows faintly when they hi beam is off. Looking at the wire diagram it shows a diode in the indicator light circuit, Apparently this is burnt out.
Anyone had the cluster out before and worked on it?

Well there's more to it than that. They fixed all the damage from a past accident without any increase in the estimate. So I really don't want to deal with them over this.
