my question is why would the lights be inline with the regular light switch well the problem is that the in-dash light switch doesnt turn the lights on and off anymore. rather it simply allows a signal to pass to the front control module asking it to pretty-please-with-sugar-on-top turn on the lights. if your truck didnt come with fog lights the ebay seller is probably talking about wiring these driving lights up to work off the fog light setting of the oem switch which right now your front control module will ignore. now that doesnt mean you cant wire them yourself with a separate switch - one that taps power from the existing headlamp circuit and uses that to energize a relay which then sends battery voltage to the auxilliary lights. but if you want it all fancy and stock-like then yes the dealership needs to program that function into the computer for you. .
