That all sounds OK to me Houston.

On the green indicator, as I've said before I prefer them off, mainly because they are irritating at night, but it's a personal preference for sure. One thing to add into the equation is that the fogs are set up so that if (either) the truck is shut off or the headlights are switched off, when you reactivate the headlights, you need to AGAIN activate the foglights, so to me the value of the dash indicator is somewhat diminished, since you can't leave them on accidentally the next time you drive. But for remembering if they are on or off, it may be nice for the dash light to work just for quick confirmation. Otherwise, especially in the haze or fog you have no confirmation they are on. At night or dark conditions you can simply switch them on and off and figure out if they're on that way. At night, I guess if you really don't KNOW they're on, they're not doing too much for you, are they?

On that plastic trim strip, you don't really pinch them together, they both sort of are pushed downwards, but it's not hard to figure out. The tricky part to me is getting them disengaged and engaged at the other (fender) side.

So you know I am a girl, had never done this before and I did it in less then one hour, so there you go.
An hour huh? Hey, the first time I did it it took me only uh, 10 minutes or so! Naaaaaaahhhhhhh, just kidding, you did pretty good for ANYONE doing this job the first time, AND you did it the RIGHT way, no shortcuts. Did you read through some of the posts here first, or you figured that all out on your own?
