They do that because a group of pencil pushers found it to be illegal to have more than 4 lights on in the front of your vehicle. I wanted to do this with my 07 and was told that the dealership computer can make it happen or I could run a wire from either my parking light or headlights to them or rewire them with a toogle in cab....

I never tried anything other than calling various dealerships to find one that would.... but that's how I found out it was illegal.

I turned mine on like that when I ran my Bully Dog. Now they still do it even when I took the tuner out and it is either stock or with the DS Trinity/ Hemifever installed.

I got the kit from mrtaillight.com and I've been running it for over a year with no issues. If you get the kit and install it but only one fog light stays on, that normal with the 2012 and up models. I had to run a wire from the drivers side fog wire to the passengers side fog wire. I installed this on my dads also, but I didn't have to do this because it was a 2010. Good luck with it. It's quite simple to install! And you're already doing better than me cause it was $35 when I got it lolhttp://www.mrtaillight.com/product_info.php?cPath=609_612&products_id=642&osCsid=mqgfnyms

He did, he also posted a nice write-up with parts needed and instructions so you could do it yourself and save yourself a bunch of money.

I just ran a short 6" piece of wire and I've not had a single problem with it
