I'm surprised there was enough room to clear those as they are some deep lights. Maybe your covers will stay red being behind the grill as mine are a pretty shade of pink now.
I gotta say, I bought mine in stainless and 130 watt. They are night/day brighter than the Hellas I took off. Mounting hardware is starting to pit, but the stainless light enclosures are still perfect. I guess for 1/4 the price of actual KCs, I can't complain. I just gotta invest in new covers and sand/paint them bases and replace the nut/bolt with stainless ones...

And put a nice clean, uncut, one on. So I need to do some thinking and figuring out. I don't want to cut any plastic really. I am going for the clean factory look, for now

You got a HomeLink in that truck? You could always go wireless and program the extra buttons on the Homelink that nobody uses like I did on my Jeep.
Other option is to wire a relay to the on/off pin on the fog light relay and run them with the fogs. I did this in my truck. Along with the mod to run the fogs with the high beams it works out pretty good for me.
I also ain't much for cutting the dash up. I've done it on some weekend play/hunt/fishing vehicles before, but I just don't like cutting up a dash that's in perfect shape...

As for cutting the dash, I am happy that it was just this section that I cut up. Easy to swap out.

Yeah I'm actually quite surprised my truck didn't come with HomeLink, being a Laramie. Wasn't a big deal at the time, especially cause I had an open two car garage at my Georgia house I had at the time (a southern thing, LOL).
But now that I have discovered wireless relays, it'd be nice to have one in the truck like I do in the Jeep...
