you got to take the headlight switch assembly out and modify it and splice wires together. its not that bad. there should be a how to on here or a link to a how to. search for it
What year is your truck?
There's a step by step how-to on www.SVTLightnings.com - For Enthusiasts By Enthusiasts I believe that's where I looked when I did mine!!!
i was bored-http://www.svtlightnings.com/svt/how-to/foglamps/foglamps.htm:thumbsup:
I would answer RIDE THE's question. I followed the wrong instructions and it cost me $1200 bucks. It's different wiring for different years so make sure you have the right info...
thanks every one for ur help my truck is 2000 svt
There are two different way to do the fog light mod. You can pull the switch apart and file down the plastic but you still need to manually turn the fogs on by pulling the switch out.
The other option is to re-wire the circuit and the fogs will come on anytime the parking lights are turned on. They will even work in the auto position.
The 99-00 are wired up different from the 01-04.
The 01-04 is very simple.
All you need to do is splice in a jumper wire from the Brown wire to the Yellow wire.
The 99-00 require two more steps.
Remove the 5 amp fuse #27 in the Central Junction Box (inside fuse panel).
You still need to jumper a wire but the colors are different. You need to jump the Brown wire to the White/Black wire. Next you need to splice in a wire into the Yellow wire. Then run that wire down the A pillar and ground it to the body.
It's works just the same as normal but you are just changing the controls for the foglights is all.
The only down side to hard wiring it this way is that you cannot shut off the fogs. If the parking lights are on, the fogs are on.

What Happen?
for some reason after i put my hids when i hit the high beams the headlights turn off and the fogs stay on.lol.
lmao.... maybe a problem:beer:
About grinding the switch....its VERY simple simply find a small round file (and I mean small) and put it into a battery powered hand held drill or electric either or. Place the file where need be and file it down with the drill....
Work smarter not harder :beer:
Took me less than 10mins taking the switch out to having it back in, plus it looks factory by simply turning the switch to yellow's and pulling out on the switch.. Nothing loose or rattling.

Wait wait. So JUST filing down the part preventing the knob from being pulled will do the trick?

Followed the 01-04 instructions and burned up a major part of the PCM. Had to get a new one of those (1 of 4 modules) and rewire a bunch of stuff. It was a pain in the dick, that's for sure
Yes.... my truck's an 01' thats all I had to do.
