Also was just shopping on rock auto I think im just going to replace the carpet, 150 bucks on rock auto for a new one and it'll help ditch the smoke smell, was thinking headliner too but a 300+ is a hard pill to swallow just yet

Don't buy the ABS plastic headliners a member here said they don't fit. That's not bad for the carpet I didn't almost $300 but I got the super plush with rubber backing.

For your headliner call your local upholstery shops and see what they charge. The same member who said the plastic ones don't fit redid his himself and he said it wasn't bad at all. Even redid his lighted visors

So ordered new seat cushion and for drives side, bout ready to finish up my rock auto order, was gonna order 9+ sport head lights and get the brite box conversion kit from genos, my truck as fog lights factory but they dont currently work, havent diagnosed at all why, but my question is they sell the brite box with or without fog lights and im wondering does the brite box control the fog lights automatically and remove the need for factory switch? if so id probably just go that route

If you have the fogs, you probably want the bright box that has a provision for them as well. Normally, fogs turn off with high beams..... Don't know if the bright box alters that behavior.

I would also recommend the heavy duty harness for the headlights. The headlight switch was pretty marginal, so, reducing the load on it is definitely a good idea.
