adding a selection to the stock fogs switch (3rd gen)

ok so while i was converting all my stock green lights on the interior to blue leds...i noticed something on the fog switch.

for those of you with it ..you know how you pull the dial out to turn on our fog lights...well it turns out if you take it apart and trim a little plastic off on the inside it can pop out a second time and it supplies 12v to a different (unused when stock) pin on the back connector.

so i decided to toy around and i trimmed the plastic and ran a wire from the new 12v point to a relay for my kc's and viola..

pull it out one click-fogs on
pull it out two clicks - fogs and kc's on

im still curious why ford made the pull out dial have 2 positions when it only needed one..but hey works for me..

ill try and get some pics and a video up but this is an AWESOME way to rig up auxiliary lights without having to find a place for a switch
