It shouldnt be that hard. I would CERTAINLY recommend the jumper thing. If I wouldnt have had a fire call in the middle of instalation it would have taken less than five min. This is the first use I have ever found for scotch lock connectors!
Just pull the switch and get out your test light. Find the wire that is only hot w the headlights then find the one that is only hot w the fog lights. Run a jumper and viola! (easier said than done if your 150 is like my 250. NO ROOM TO WORK. The harness gives you about one extra inch of wire.)

I have a 2006 Lariet 4X4 and I looked at my relay today. And the one in the picture on "how to do the mod" shows a 5 prong relay and the relay that is in my truck is just a 4 prong. And the prong I need to bend is the one that is missing on my truck.
So is there another way to do this?

I done this also and there is not a wire that will be hot when fog lights or on and go off when the fog lghts go off. I when throught the wires 3 times. Anyone have another way? Thanks Brad

The middle is usually just a replicate of the outer one in the same direction.

That is kind of odd. I have an 07 and the middle one is missing on mine. I am wondering if I should still try it or not.

Its illegal here in this state, but a lot of the dim bulbs (Chev and Dodge owners too), drive in the city with their fogs on too. Too bright for city driving.

Did you get this mod to work with the newer 4 pin relay? Thanks for your assistance!

Regards,

Brad,

Did you have any luck going ahead with this mod and the "4-pin" relay? Thanks for your assistance.

Regards,

Craig

OK I just got back from outside and it works on the 4-pin also. Well better go to bed got to work tonight . Just follow the directions and bend the pin on the outside do not worry about the middle pin that you dont have. And I did not disconnect the battery.

I am like Brad I didn't want to mess anything up. And if I did screw it up I know the Ford dealer here wouldn't have the relay in stock.. I am going to be busy this weekend so I might try it next week.
