I think that's what I'm going to do. Dealerships are useless. Wish the Triple Dog would fix my recirculate door too!

I am not sure about hard wiring because my truck came from the factory with this option. First night I had it I turned on the fog lights and hit the high beams and they were working together..??

Very cool. I don't "know" one way or another. I have only heard form other board memebers on the subject.
