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.

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....

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.

i think this is the seller, they dont seem to offer the tan now though. which is a perfect match for the limited EX's. may have to ask the seller?

heres what i found though, i first got 5.4 decals for my expedition then asked the seller to make the V10 decals.

5.4L Triton V8 Decals Ford F150 F250 F350 09 2010 SVT | eBay


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.
