Hi canucklehead, where would I find that relay? Do we know the OP's vehicle year?

Under the hood drivers side.
I looked online and I think the OP might need one of these....

First things first.

Go to http://www.repairprocedures.com and look at the Factory Schematics for your year. For $5 you can look at the differences in wiring for both options, from that, you can keep your truck factory. I have Factory Wire if you need some. All colours and sizes.

Your van is a 2016? I wouldn't be messing with anything. That kit is for older trucks. Why not just install some fog lights or driving lights?

I love messing with it....that's why I bought it........


electricity is the same as it was back in the old trucks day.....the kit is 2 relays....what could go wrong....if its wired wrong the relays would stay opened and only if it is installed correctly will it work.


if you grab the dimmer switch stalk on the steering column and hold it in the high beam position both lights work so I know the circuit can handle having both sets of lights on at the same time...without popping a fuse


I'm going for it. i'l report back on how it all goes...the new radiator core support goes in on Monday, so give me a week or two.




ps...I had the dealer install 2 new rear doors without windows last week and she looks much better....and I sold the 2 rear doors last night for $800. woo hoo


New wheels/tires Saturday


got to get the new halo parts painted


chrome front bumper...


hinged console


new interior


van rug


can't wait
