Word is the dealership can flash it for you. Whether they're willing to can vary by dealer.

easiest way is to check with your dealer or you can go though the headache of rewiring them. they can do it as long as it's not against state law and they are willing, the dealer here won't do it even though it's legal.

I actually need to figure out why my fogs won't go on when I installed my HID kit.

OP - what you are talking about was do-able on the 02-05s. Everyone is right about having to have the dealership program that in IF they will do it.

Yeags777 - thats a whole different issue.

Start a thread on it, Im more than sure you have them wired up wrong and not getting power or ground
