Thank you for the detailed response. I really have no experience with wiring, but I'm hoping I can do this. I do have the high package. I'd like to wire the backlight into the running lights. And then have one switch for road legal and one for offroad brightness. I order the 3 light sport set Diode Dynamics. Does everything you need come with the package?Jeff,
IF you have the Mod bumper and ordered the High Package that was available on your Badlands , it has the front sensing package that has factory wire harness pigtails for you to add Fog lights using the factory OEM headlight switch unit "that includes fogs". Part numbers are in this thread.

You can order the switch unit for front fogs only or front AND rear fogs. The forum members have an open action item to see if anyone can find the rear fog pigtail in the rear harness. ANYONE FIND IT YET? smile
Note: There were only 5 switches in distribution last week and the guys here purchased them all.
Now back ordered.
I ordered the fog light pocket kit from Diode Dynamics with 3 all clear lenses for each side and with all 3 having amber back lights. It's up to you as an individual to chose your preference. (I used the bigger SS3 and 2 each SS2 units as my preference)
( See @Bigmoose's nice clean 2 light , 2 color install above as his preference)
It's a little daunting at first . I called one supplier and they told me: " read the website, that's what it's for" . VERY RUDE,... so no issue at all....I spent my money elsewhere. Chris or the Diode folks will be happy to help you. Bottom line.....
You can get any backlight color and any lense color, mix and match in the size light that you prefer. Additionally, you can select from multiple brightness outputs ( candelas) to get brighter and BRIGHTER and VERY MUCH BRIGHTER. Read this as $, $$, or $$$$.
Wiring them up is really straight forward: Your back lighting gets spliced into the factory running light wire with no need for using an AUX switch. Fog lamps will either use the factory switch if you have the LUX / High package option. If you do not have this option, you will use an AUX switch . Which aux switch?........ it is based on amp draw of your chosen lights.
Last but not least ,the trail lights go to another AUX switch .
Any issues? ....please call me 256 520 4401 for a conversation. It took me a few hours for my wallet to become dangerously informed .
