ok lonewolf i had to do some extra digging but i think i have a few answers for you. . the relay will be in the fuse box under the hood (at least it was on my 03). if you pull it out the terminals are labeled. try putting the jumper in there. . after further rereading the add and a email from robin patton i figured it out. . has anybody else try this and how did it work?

These lights are controlled by a computer

I don't think that you can just jumper a relay on the 03 and later trucks. All the exterior lights are controlled by a Front Control Module which is a computer that is located under the fuse and relay panel forward of the drivers side battery.

You can buy, from Genos Garage, a module that will do what you want though, its called a Brite Box. It allows you to keep the fog lights on and even keep the high and low beam light filaments on at the same time. I have it and it works great and no annoying lights out message or chime in the instrument cluster.
