    hey bob, i forgot to mention that i was a bit drunk the night we were shooting the star photos so i forgot that you dont want to expose for much longer than 30 seconds!! all my photos that i shot for over a minute exposure times were blurry because the stars are rotating and creating trials :) The one that i posted was the 2nd photo of the night and at 30 seconds

    saving these for future install reference

    Next I did the Anytime Fog Mod. This mod was super easy. There is a thread on here for it on the Cheap Free Mods page, but its for a 05-11. Its slightly different for 2012+ and there is a thread about it somewhere. This is what it looks like. I picked up some Rigid Dually's and used the stock wiring harness so I could use the stock fog light switch. It's extremely easy. Cut the plug from the Rigid harness with enough wire to work with. Cut the stock plug and peel back the housing for some room to work with. Splice the wires from the Rigid plug to the stock harness accordingly and you're done. I don't have detailed pictures of this, just the finished product, but you can get the idea.

    After you pull the OEM fog light switch out you will see 4 wires on the connector.

    White with a Black Stripe: Switch Ground
    Blue: Fog Light Trigger
    Green with a White Stripe: Dash Illumination Ground
    Green: Dash Illumination Positive

    Dude sweet truck and these are some awesome photos! I wish I had more time to come explore in Colorado! I was there for 2 days in September for a Broncos game and did the Bill Moore Lake trail. Lots of fun and such a beautiful place.
