Factory Fog Light Switch

[mds5917]

Awesome - got my connector today and made the changes and now my fogs work perfectly from my replaced switch on my badlands with BD lights! Thanks to all! Now to kill that double honk…

@mds5917 Pics please.

Of the lights, or the install process? I did not have any pics that had not already been published for installation, aside from perhaps where I ran the harness, and I have posted a pic of the switch replacement, which I am happy to post again. The FORScan stuff was covered here and it worked. I did use the extra male weathershield connectors that @4x4TruckLEDs.com to replace the factory connectors that were terminated in my MOD bumper so I could use the new switch and not an upfitter. All I have left to do is aim the lights properly - one of them is searching for aircraft, as best I can tell

Sorry.. I was talking about the connector used to connect to the factory fog light wiring harness.

I removed (cut off) the factory connector and replaced it with a male weathershield connector that mated to the female connector on the harness 4x4truckleds provided

Yea.. I think instead of hacking into the factory wiring. going to try this 10$ option first..

Ok. The slow kid is confused again.

I thought the existing wired up connectors on the Bronco are female connectors and IF one did not want to alter the factory wiring, one would have to make the wiring from the fogs have a male end.

One could do so either by reusing the weather plugs (with alteration) that exist to seal off the harness connectors

Or by buying some of the correct male connectors with pigtails.

Are you also doing the rear fog?
Has anyone checked that the rear harness is also there?

That’s what I thought too.

Exciting that the Forscan transition was a breeze.

For the Black Diamond folks… @flip was nice enough to share this diagram of C203 (which should be sitting behind the fender wall under the battery). We’re looking to see if the highlighted pins are wired from the switch.

I am not doing those, but someone published a schematic that show there should be a plug (at least on some models) there for it. I may do "work/reverse (trail) lights" in the spare and run them from the upfitter via the rear upfitter wiring, if I do not use that for on-board air if I ever see anyone bring out a good mounting option.

I used the male one shown here to replace the female one that was on the Bronco under the tow hook. This fit the female (shown here) that was already on the harness I got from @4x4TruckLEDs.com for my upfitter kit for the Baja Design lights. I soldered the Bronco wiring to the pins (as well as crimped) for a little extra comfort, as well.

@mds5917 is the middle light your fog or it the inner most light?
