I'm not sure if this was already mentioned.. Lots of posts. Lol. But here's a good mod, (I think) for around $25

Default fog lite ~ night lights
Name: front of truck.JPG Views: 2225 Size: 85.4 KB
I added fog lights, wired them into the parking lights. this way when I get out of the truck at night (parking lights come on) the fog lights lite up the area in front of the truck. Make it safer and brighter when going in the house or store.

Looks great! That's the kind I want. Did you wire them in so they turn on with your parking lights or did you do just a switch powered elsewhere? How hard was it to take down the headliner? Did you use silicone for the holes or something else? I'd love to know how you did it and how hard everything was to do. Please PM me with all you can tell me. Thanks!

Who has done those glossy column cover things? In between the two doors on a crew? How much and how do they work? I finally got my windows tinted and want to add those.
