I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't find anything by searching. What is required to add auto headlights to an '05 Sport Trac? I did this in my '99 Ranger and am half way through my wife's Pacifica, but the ST is throwing me off. In the Ranger, I needed the mirror and a couple of relays and that was it. Since the ST headlight switch has to be turned to parking lights or headlights for the fogs to come on, does that mean that I won't have fogs with auto headlights? Is there another switch I need to be looking for with a different position?

Thanks
 






My 05 has factory autolamps. The sensor is on the dash not the mirror and the headlamp switch has an "auto" position. The sensor in my mirror only "dims" the mirror from bright lights.

You might be able to use the mirror sensor from say a 04 Escape?
 






I thought the '05 would have Autolamps factory installed?
 






Apparently not. The switch doesn't have an auto position. I may be able to work around the sensor in the dash with the sensor in the mirror, but I guess I'll have to find a new switch now too.
