my PATS system is bypassed by my viper remote start / alarm's on both trucks. so i do not have chips in my keys, thus no programming needed. these keys don't even have a chip in them.

ok...so i installed the 100w yellow bulbs in my Hella 500's. wow what a difference!! also removed the factory fogs as they were full of condensation. then i installed LEDs wired as DRL's like i had the fog lights. may switch them to white later on idk..kinda like the amber.

Rezvani's Latest Post-Apocalyptic Monster Is a Ford F-150 Raptor Underneath
Cop: So what happened here?
Prius Owner: It was dark and I didn't see him....
Cop: *raised eyebrow* All those lights and you couldn't see him? A martian rover could probably see him from Mars...I'll just start writing this up.
With all those lights, someone can't say they didn't see you....
then i installed LEDs wired as DRL's like i had the fog lights. may switch them to white later on idk..kinda like the amber.
AlaskanEx, how and what did you tie your fog lights to make them DDL's? Do they come on automatically when the truck is running? Or do you have to turn them on manually? Maybe thinking of doing the same thing with Hera.
for the fog lights i set up my own relay box for aux lighting has about 4 relays if i remeber correct. tapped the ignition hot "customer access" wire under the dash and used that to trigger my relay for the fog lights. so any time the ignition is ON they come on.
pic from this week, picked up my grandpas lawn tractor and his generator. he wants me to give it a tune up and clean it up and i'm storing the tractor for him. i liked the red it matched the truck lol
