BASE Factory-Look FOG LIGHTS

[FrankenRodz]

There have been other posts regarding this option, but nothing that I could find with simple step-by-step instructions, so here is my contribution.

ABSOLUTELY NO CUTTING, OR MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED.

Moderate skill level should be done within an hour or so.

I ordered my Base Bronco with the Auxiliary Switches, so all I needed was:

1-Set of OEM Bumper Trim Covers for Fog Lights. ($100. Ebay)
1-Set of iJDM Fog Lights. ($35. Ebay)
1-H11 Wiring Harness. ($20. Ebay)

Aside from the Ford OEM Bumper Trim Covers, the Fog Lights and Harness are offered from several different sources. (The Size/Style of the Fog Lights is universal across several Automobile Name brands. I've used them with Fords and Nissans, without any fitment issue).

1. Grab each Passenger and Driver Trim Cover on the edge closest to the middle of the truck and pull the covers off.
(The replacement Covers are an exact fitment match).

2. You'll notice the Bumper comes from the factory with accommodation for the Fog Lights, and even has recesses on the back side to screw the fog lights in to the bumper from behind. (I used waterproof coarse thread screws).

3. My Harness came with a relay and power cord, which I cut off, and wired each Fog Light to the Purple Wire right above the radiator, and each Ground Wire to one point of the body inside the engine bay.

4. The Purple Wire at the drivers side cowl needs to be connected with the Purple Wire from the power distribution box. (They're inches away from each other, and once connected Auxiliary Switch #3 is powered).

That's all there is to it!

After driving 3+ hours on the highway at night, I must say the Fog Lights performed great.
They broadcast the light, illuminating far left and right.
(Always a concern when you're buying an aftermarket product, but I'd say they are on par with Factory lights).

Where did you find the trim panels with fogs for the bumper on ebay? I have looked and looked. Thanks for any help you can give.

I also can't find the trim pieces. Part number?

They're an OEM Ford Part, available from any online Parts Retailer. At the time, they were backordered, so I was able to buy them off Ebay from someone who went another route.

I'm wondering if someone has an 'Ice Blue' replacement Fog Light like this. Some might find that annoying, but I like that look. I'd swap these out in a minute with my (factory) white ones.

I just ordered it for the same reason of adding fogs and this part number doesnt include the pre-drilled holes. Its a direct replacement for the end panel that comes on the base bumper.

I've seen End Panel M2DB17E810 for a 2021 Big Bend that has the fog light holes but cant find them anywhere. Possible the part number changed?

Yeah, something's screwed up. I just checked several suppliers, and they all show Plastic Bumper WITH fog lights, but the part they show isn't even the correct thing!

So I decided to 'embrace' the blue accents on my Wildtrak. Thanks to a suggestion by @BroncoBebop on YouTube (link here), instead of replacing the Fog lights with some Blue version, I went with a tinted overlay. It really wasn't that hard to do.

- I removed the Fog lights (4 bolts and one plug) easily reachable behind the bumper.
- Measured, cut and applied the overlay (with gentle heat from a heat gun).
- Then reinstalled them back in the bumper.
Working on them OUT of the bumper was WAY easier than trying to work through the small hole (he mentions this in the video) and since I could wrap it around the edge, I didn't have to worry about exactly centering the overlay or have an edge that wasn't quite covered.

They look great:

I also did the a-pillar Pod lights.

When they're on, you can barely tell that they're tinted.
