Mine is a 03 HD and here is how I did mine. I used the same 1N4001 diode from RS (2-pak $.59) and just jumed between the relays for the lights in the fuse box. Took maybe two minutes to do and 1.5 min was getting the darn fuses out. I did solder extra wire to the diode and use srink tubing over the diode before the install.Now i just wrapped the wire around the post of the relay but a little solder would be best. It won't let me attach some pics for some reason so here is a link to a thread from a few months back showing what i did. Look at the pics on the first page that Max Power shows.

I did this and it ROCKS! I got lucky and found a 2 pack of diodes with 3 in it! So, I wired the lows to high, lows to fogs and lows to DRLs....SWEEEEET!!! Now my fogs come on with the headlamps and don't freggin shut off everytime you turn the truck off! This is truely a great mod! Thanks for the tip.
