I do not have the link, but i have done the mod and it is really easy. If you have any questions, let me know. The big thing is to wrap the headlight switch inside of a towel as you are pulling it apart. There is a spring inside that will go flying that is hard to find later.

Is there any way to get the fog lights to come on with the auto lights?

Thermo I need some help, I tried this yet it still will not work. I used a dremel and took down the ramp so he knob does pull out perfectly without being turned fully to the headlight position, yet the fogs will still not come on without the low beams

JTKustoms, you need to add a jumper wire between the brown and white/black wire. The brown wire is for the parking lights, the white/black wire is for the fog light relay actuation. So, no need to worry about overloading the headlight switch. Add that and then see what you have. The one "caution" that I will tell you about though is that doing this mod will also keep your fog lights on when you hit the high beams. In some states, this violates the law. Just a fair warning. Granted, if a cop sees you with your high beams on and your fog lights, odds are you are not in the best of conditions anyways.

That didn't work well on my '98. It worked, but with high beams, both headlight beams came on together. Lots of light, but bulbs don't last long. I ended up wiring an external relay and it works perfect!
But '98's function a little different than '99-'02...
