    I have the limited column switch with the auto feature , installed that switch today, got factory fogs and factory wiring harness also. Plug and play !! But I want to know how to make my headlights auto on and off since it’s on my new switch

    im pretty sure there is a sensor for the headlights that you're missing.

    Likely just the dash sensor and the turn switch stalk, but it's too risky for how much they sell for.

    Unless you find the 3 wire connector to the sensor under the dash it's not really worth the trial.

    I thought this wasn't possible because the BCM wasn't programmed for it. Be cool if it worked though! Everyone would be all over it
