All the smoke stayed inside the wire where it belongs :-)
For the curious, when you lift up the relay/fuse panel, the left halogen light is violet, the right is blue. THEY ARE JOINED at pin 5 (87A - the NC contact)of relay "666" (someone in Sweden has a sense of humor - this is a North American Only part).
Since I was wiring for High Beam, I broke the connection here by cutting the left wire (violet). The reason is if there is a fault in one high beam circuit, so that it blows the fuse, the connection would cause the *other* high beam circuit to feed the failed circuit, blowing *its* fuse. Seems like poor practice.
I then connected each halogen to its respective high-beam motor drive wire (Brown, Fuse 10, and White, Fuse 12). I checked the wiring specs, and the European lights use the same wire gauge to drive both the lights and the shutter motor.
When the lights are off and one uses the "flash to pass" function, the current for the left bulb feeds through fuse 12 to a junction and then back through fuse 10 to the other filament. *part of the "flash to pass" circuit is a "1.0" gauge wire, some is 1.5, so I don't mind adding some more 1.5 wire to the loop.
