No it's not the same. 2006+ models have a TIPM that is electronic relays with minimal fuses.
It's not possible on the 06+ models without a starscan tool that can use International settings to disable any daytime running lights and allow fogs on w/highbeams. Most dealers won't do this though.
I'm currently working on designing a plug'n'play set-up that allows you to have fogs on with highbeams. Just waiting on parts to arive ;-)

I've checked with the dealers in my area, and none of them are willing to reprogram my fogs on my '06 Mega. I don't want to rewire the fogs to a seperate switch, cause I will lose the indicator light on the dash.

I will be really interested if you figure out a plug'n'play setup.

Thanks, Jim

I used my BullyDog to do it.. awefully expensive solution to the issue... but you'd get other benefits out of it.
