The 3 and 4 light kits from stage 3 tie into the DRL lights, and then you can enable bambi lights in Forscan, and voila, everything you want. The stage3 lights have a pigtail, it is all plug-and-play. Worth the money!

Edit: Entire install, including Forscan change took 9 minutes.

Voila...always loved that word...

I realize no grille lights but I was thinking some trucks have puddle lights and different doo dads and such... just a lonely hot wire looking for a purpose ...

The Stage 3 unit plugs into the side marker light.

Be nice if there was a circuit that was not tied to the BCM. The pigtail kits are nice and if you have an issue easy to disconnect.

Never got around to researching, but located on the drivers side front inner wheel well, is a capped two wire connector tied to the body. If you peel back the wheel liner from the front you can see it tucked up in there. There is no voltage there, and there isn't a matching connector on the passenger side. When I talked with a service manager he thought it might be for the corner strobe lighting kit. Would have to get ahold of a manual and tracked down that connector.
