    Headlight/fog light/switch mod

    Since it ain't on here, I thought I'd post one up, since I just done did it. :pepper: So, the most "definitive" location for the mod is here at svtlightnings.com, but it leaves alot to be desired (especially how he managed to get to the cam/ramp without splitting the switch body open)...

    No, not the truck (thank goodness!) The stereo in the truck, however, died an ugly death. :( I had swapped the stock double-DIN unit for a 2003 F150/Lightning unit with the in-dash 6-disc CD changer, and as a bonus got the ability to use the under-seat 6-disc changer that was original, for...
