ANSWER: I can't find a detailed enough manual to help you with this. If you can scan and email me the wiring page and the alarm function page, I could help you with it, but not much I can do without that.

Answer
Hehe, okay no problem, now are they flashing on and off, or just dimming?
Flashing on and off usually indicates that there may a poor ground running to the relay that switches the power on the fogs. If they are aftermarket lights, there's a pretty good chance that the ground for the relay was knocked loose or off during the deck installation. Relays tend to "motorboat" (cycle on and off) when a poor ground is present.
