on my 93GT, i drove up in the driveway a couple of evenings ago and noticed my headlights flickering on and off fast....so came in and found a article that the foglights heat something up or something causing the headlights to flicker and it gave the mod to re-wire it and all....my question is i plan on driving my car tomorrow night....if i dont use my foglights, will the headlights act normal or will they still flicker.....i've only drove it a couple of times at night,1 of the times is when i got the car coming home, one of the foglights was out so i didnt turn just one on....came home 300 miles just fine....i replaced both foglight bulbs and used all the lights for the 1st time a couple of nights ago and they was flickering....i have those APC projector lights and spliced the small foglights by the headlight in with my parking lights with a inline fuse in both of them....sorry for the long read but i tried to be as clear as possible....let me know what you guys think...OHHH...the small foglights by the headlight wasnt flickering...only the headlights themselves

your headlights should be fine by themselves, its the extra current needed to run the fogs that causes the overheating

Usually it will be fine with just the headlights.

I agree, assuming that your projector lights draw the same or less amperage than the stock bulbs.

Good luck.
