^^^ I don't have factory wiring for mine I built my own harness, so I am no help there. If he is adding them to the truck yes I can offer help if he wants to make his own harness.

All the wiring diagrams are in the FSM found in the DIY area.

Page 960 in the 2001 FSM shows wiring for the Quad beam headlights.

Edit: Headlight diagnostics in the 2001 FSM start on page 611

I MIGHT have found it. I took the blinker switch harness off and the purple wire (farthest one) socket is a little discolored. we'll see
