AFAIK...from all previous docs/installs, TCM is required.

the Trailer Tow Module is required (also known as TCM). I just did this DIY with purchasing just the TTM and everything works! I also ordered a different euro switch, as I have adaptive bi-xenons.

Thread resurected!

Wish i saw this thread before i started. In my case i started with the tailgate section first. But will only do the left hand side. I didnt know i needed the TCM nor will it work for a pre-2001 build date. Hmmm... I might have to go another route to power it up

Rear fog lamps are meant to be only on the driver side
