OK, I know we have covered the XLS-XLT bumper swap to death but has anybody bothered to figure out a way to utilize the factory XLT headlight/fog light switch? I picked one up, since I have done the bumper swap, and I see the factory headlamp switch wire harness has all of the correct wires. Unfortunately when I checked the power distribution center under the hood I found that the stock locale for the factory fog lamp relay has NO contacts and the 10a fuse slot only has the 12v+ contact. Has anyone actually tried to utilize a factory switch or are you all cluttering your dashboards with rockers?

*SOLVED*
Got the headlight switch out of an XLT, a relay, and ran the signal wire to the new headlight switch! Can you say factory!
