I think I got the 10-pack too. I found some other uses for the ones that were left over (more mods!)
It's very easy and straight forward... The write-up it it very easy to follow...05HrlyHlr said:Prolly goona try this over my Xmas break! I hope my truck doesnt catch on fire!

Troublemaker said:Even one at a time, you can still get the diode backwards (don't ask how I know!!), but it's an "easy fix", and putting them in backwards doesn't do any damage (at least in the short term...)

Now the right side should have a double green wire at the top, followed by a single red, a single blue, a double purple, then the space just vacated and the newly relocated double blue wires.
Thanks to XRover and WesTexAVY!

I followed your post about this mod, followed it to the "T", and I don't have the Daytime Running Lights. I still have to turn my lights halfway on to get the ambers to come on. Did I miss something??
Dads04Z71 said:This is one great mod. So easy, and the PDF file with pictures, which I printed, virtually made this mod stupid proof. If all mods were as well written as this, mods would be a breeze. I can't thank you enough! This article rocks. Total cost for the diodes (yes - a pack of 50) and the heat shrink tubing was less than $8. Took all of a half an hour to complete, even with trying different configurations.
I initially was going to buy the 4 on high kit for 50 bucks because the instructions written by others using diodes weren't clear enough to make me feel comfortable. But this was absolutely painless!
I finally settled on 3 diodes (# 1, # 2 and # 5). This gave me Fogs-on-Hi only, All-4-On-Hi only, and Fogs-On-Low only. I did not want the FTDRLs on at night so I omitted diodes # 3 and # 4.
Question: While not a big deal, I can no longer operate the fogs via the button switch on the dash. I can't turn them on or off while on low beam only (or with just the parking lights on) as before. Is there an easy way around this? If not, I can live with it.
Thanks again.
