yea i do

first get at least 8 ft of wires. cut it into 4 even pieces so that u would now have 4 pieces of wire. then take off ur bumper(its easier to work with if its not there). there are 2 wires on each fog light. cut them off. loosen up or unbolt ur head light(which ever ur most comfortable with. i unbolted mine cuz it was easier for me to work with) and find the wires for the led. the leds also have 2 wires. cut the skins and pull them back so that the wire is exposed. splice the new wire to the leds and to the fog lights and ur done.

hope this helps. if u need anymore help pm me and ill do my best explaining things to u. i know its hard with out pics. if u do it this way take pics and write up a DYI for other members if u can. i should have done this but never crossed my mind to do it :/

Oh, you're talking about bypassing the stalk...why would you do that? It's a second step backwards. Everyone else is trying to get them to come on independent from the headlights, you're disabling all function to control them...
