I use mine for entertainment when sitting at stop lights or when waiting in line at the McDonald's drive-through. BUT THE'RE MINE, and no one else can touch them!!!!!! The lights amuse me as well.
I am still deciding if I want to install an additional set of driving lights, I would use one for those, but as of now, they just keep me busy when I am bored. I am a simple minded sort.

#1 is for my surface to air missles. #2 is the passenger seat ejector module. #3 oil slick/smoke screen #4 activates the brass stripper pole and disco lights in the bed.

#1 is backup lights. Gonna use it as a trigger for a relay as soon as I can get some KCs pointing backwards instead of fog lights zip tied to the bumper.
#2 will eventually be a trigger for a bunch of Highlighters pointing every which way but backwards on a relay.
#3 is high idle (battery charging, not PTO)
#4 used to be a PIE but its on a hot-with-key-on wire now. Maybe I'll add an air compressor and air horns. Or a 12V transfer tank pump on a relay.

Thanks guys. The truck has to go in for some warranty work (one window control sticks) and I thought to have the upfitter switches installed (their "bay" is too small to do another else with!).
How does one hook up the "high idle" switch?
We haul horses. I don't understand how the switches hook into the wiring harness. Would it be possible to control lights on a horse trailer? It would be nice to be able to power up the loading lights on the trailer w/o turning on the headlights.
Thanks,
Froggie

I see people have a high idle switch. Like a previous poster I'm curious how one adds this to a truck, and is it possible to add to a gasoline engine such as my 2004 Expedition or my buddies 2006 F-150 XLT.
