Ended up with this one. The wireless module runs about $100+ to connect to the Homelink

I'll safe that $100 for the next mod.

I know... Pictures....

Simple answer... yes...

I used a wireless relay I bought off Amazon.com for $14 to the door for my lights on my Grand Cherokee, then simply used one of the two included key fobs to program my unused HomeLink buttons to turn them on/off.

Now I don't have to worry about a switch and can use a key fob to turn them on from outside the vehicle...

well hell, worst case is even if you lost both key fobs, the HomeLink buttons are still programmed to turn them on/off...
