need a little help

I have decided to take my '01 SD on my hunting trip to the arctic coast instead of my new BLACK '08. Just couldn't hardly stand the thought of taking the new one on a trip that included about 700 miles of gravel road. Anyways, I'm wanting to hook my off road lights into my dimmer switch. This way when I have the light switch on and flip on my brights my driving lights will come on. Can anyone tell me which wire I'm looking for under the steering column? This be on a 2001 F-350 V-10 Auto 4X4. Thanks so much in advance...

Check out a post called "2001 Fog Lights, When you want them on". It may be what you are looking for.

If he hooks them up to the fog lights, his driving lights will come on with the low beams, not the high beams.

Well that post tells how to make your stock fog lights come on with the high beams. The real reason to look at that post is it shows all the wires down there and what they do. With that info it should be able to fiqure it out. Its a start anyway.
