do you know if its direct plug-and-play or do you need to have the option "turned on" in a module?

Zookie- I was told it's completely plug and play. The harness for the foglights on the bumper side is already in placed, it's held up on the lower part of the radiator area. The harness rides along that point to both sides. In the truck, it's just a matter of swapping switches. Very very simple to do. The add says it's for non-automatic lights.

I tried to get one out but because of the disappearing sunlight at the time, I put the cover back in. There's 3 bolts (I think I was using a 7/16) and they come out. To get the covers in, which go in from the rear but before the fog assemblies, I think I have to remove the 4 bolts and the bumper bracket. Still simple enough.. easier than trying to retrofit something else. Came complete, even down to the bulbs and the 8 self-tapping nuts to go on the bezel.

I emailed the seller, Kevin (who runs the parts department I'm assuming, Fairway Ford in Ohio) and he was very quick to respond, he actually responded in less than 4 minutes. It was shipped the same day, since I ordered Friday I got it today because of no shipping on Sundays. It
