Just got these delivered from Tasca. Switch, fog light insert and rear wiring. Only have to order the bumper. It was back ordered. Ford dealer sells it at Msrp 704.72 excl. tax. Is that a fair price or should I shop around? They are offered cheaper but shipping is high.
Where are you finding this b/white wire in the harness, I am wanting to tap into to it to use for lights in the front, but not looking to run wires from the rear. I am assuming I can tap into somewhere under the dash? Can someone please post a picture of the location?Is this the wire that you are saying is the rear fog in the harness? My plan it to tie two
s2 sports into it to use as chase lights. They only pull .9 amps so not even two together. Shouldn’t be no need for a relay at that low of a draw.
Was just reading your story about swapping the bumpers. I did the same thing and must agree the plastic top and side parts are the worst to take off. Loads of clips before it comes off.I finished up the first stage of my rear fog install this weekend. Some tweaks to get things lined up, but its working off the factory headlight switch with front and rear fogs, and the rear fog enabled harness.
Note for Forscan programming: besides the two rear fog settings noted in this thread, I also had to disable the rear fog inhibit setting in Forscan to get them to turn on. Now they work and the dash indicator works as well!
Need a little alignment and blackout the upside down Rigid logo, otherwise good to go.
I did my rear fog install today. I installed the factory Rear Fog Harness (M2DZ-15K868-G*) in the bumper. I also installed the Front/Rear fog switch (M2DZ-11654-CB) in the dash.
To connect to the rear circuit I crimped on a 2 pin Deutsch connector and built a harness to distribute to the lights.
I used the low power circuit (R/W wire on rigid Harness) for the Fogs with plans to connect brake lights to the high power (Red wire on Rigid Harness) for now I just stubbed it out, but I would change the Deutsch to a 3 pin if/when I do it.
Ran my custom harness along the factory harness to both sides of the bumper.

This info is going to save me so much time troubleshooting . I just installed a rear bumper and the light isn’t working. The sensors are, so I assumed the light wasn’t plugged very well, even though I remember a nice click. Those those plugs on the end are so freaking hard to get all the way in.
This is why we put our findings on here!
Sorry for my delay, I don't remember exactly the settings changed but I remember changing the BCM and IPC.
I eventually remembered that I had some baling wire that I could work through the hole and into the correct pin location.
Great Work, Glad to see someone was able to add a pin successfully.Here's a bit more detail on what I did to modify the bumper side of the C424 connector so that my rear Didode Dynamics lights work with the push of the rear fog button on my M2DZ-11654-CC switch (while the headlights are on). I unplugged the connector, peeled back the wire harness tape, and noted that there are two wires running into the sealed end of the connector.
I used a drill bit to drill a hole in the back of the bumper side connector. I stepped up to a 7/64 bit for it to be large enough to get the EU2Z-14421-BA connector to fit through. In the process of figuring out the right size and getting the routing precise, I broke two of the five connectors in the kit and managed to break through the sheathing to expose the bare wiring on a 3rd connector. It's good that the kit came with 5 connectors, as I still have one spare.
Now instead of two pins on the bumper side of the C424 connector I have three.
I plugged the two sides of the C424 connector back together and tested the bare end of the EU2Z-14421-BA wire with my voltmeter to ensure power was passing through, indicating a good pin connection.
I add a bit of silicon to help seal the new wire, taped up the connector and ran the new 18 gauge wire across the frame, under the heat shield behind the 10mm bolt on the driver side above the muffler. (Red line shows routing)
The wire runs into the same grommet as the diode dynamics wiring harness into the cargo space, under the rear plastic trim, and tucks into the same space as the diode dynamics harness on the rear passenger panel area. (This pic was before crimping and heat shrinking the connector)
I'm also planning to run some DD SS3's, but sorry if this has already been covered...this thread is huge and already spent 1hr sifting through to find the answer. So this is adding the trigger from the new M2DZ-11654-CC with rear fog switch AND also powering the lights, correct? Are you still using DD's kit DD4133 or are you able to bypass this need completely? I'm not clear on what you're using from the DD harness perspective. Also, do your backlights work or are you splicing into the parking lights at some point? I know SPVParts has this plug-n-play connector for backlight..Here's a bit more detail on what I did to modify the bumper side of the C424 connector so that my rear Didode Dynamics lights work with the push of the rear fog button on my M2DZ-11654-CC switch (while the headlights are on).
