Well the kits we offer usually do 3 sets of fogs to fill the opening. You could do 1 single light per side but it's not going to look as good, and would be ala carte
Thanks for the info!! I guess my question is, is there a good 3 light (or dual raptor style) kit that can be connected to the existing hidden wiring harness behind the mod bumper, add the factory fog light switch, hack forscan and be used just as factory fogs and not really offroad lights (if that makes sense). Trying to avoid using upfitter switches totally if I can.
Yes the kits we offer can do that with our pigtails. But I can't tell you which of the pigtails we make to use, unless I know which of our fog kits you are going with.
Unfortunately, if you got the MOD bumper from the factory then there isn't a wire harness for the fog lights behind the bumper, **unless you have the front bumper sensors**. If you have the sensors, then you should have the fog light connections. If not, then you need to run wires from C203 harness (inside Driver fender well) by tapping into the two fog wires.
THANKS for the info!!! Very helpful. Yeah I have the sensors so I’m assuming I have the wiring for the fogs. I haven’t checked yet but from all I’ve read they should be there. Either way, thanks a bunch for the reply!!
Nice work on this mod. I did something similar and worked out nicely using the oem dash switches. Question: do you still have the factory connector that you cut off? It’s a 10 pin plug (but uses only 3 pins for hot,ground and the purple wire ). If you do are you willing to part with it? It should look like this :Even after reading page after page of how to wire fog lights to the Badlands mod bumper with Lux, I still had questions, so I thought I'd post pics for anyone else trying this. This assumes you have the factory wiring harness/plug buried in your bumper.
Remove the plastic covers over the recover points and you can easily access the factory harness connector. It's held in place by a plastic clip which is kind of a bitch to release, but keep at it from the backside and you can get it to release. I cut off the factory connector and used waterproof soldered butt connectors to splice in a new black and red wire that would reach the new Diode Dynamics fog lights. The yellow with orange stripe is the + for the passenger side and the brown is + for the driver side.
I didn't have the proper Deutsch style wiring connectors to plug my new red and black wires into the existing Deutsch connector, so I just cut the (+ and -) wires coming out of the connector, leaving a pigtail, and used another pair of waterproof soldered butt connectors to tie the wiring together. This also allowed me to leave the existing purple wire untouched, which powers the backlights and merges with all of the other purple wires and leads to a fuse tap I added to the fuse box.
Tonight I'll be in Forscan enabling the settings for the new factory Fog light switch I replaced to actually make them work.
Edit to add the switch I ordered - M2DZ-11654-DA. Took about 10 days for delivery through my local dealership. I don't have an interest in rear fogs, so this one is perfect.
Forscan Update:
I pulled the Forscan settings from this post in the massive fog lights thread. To summarize:
BdyCM Configuration
IPC
- Front fog lamps - change this to "Enabled".
- Fog Lamp Switch - change this to "Enabled"
- Using Front Fog With High Beam - "Allowed"
BdyCM (As-Built Configuration)
- Front fog lamps - change this to "Enabled"
Worth noting that my Forscan extended license expired and apparently you can't renew due to the Russian/Ukranian conflict. Forscan wouldn't let me read the modules, however, I saw in another forum that you can change the date of your Windows laptop to a previous date that was within your 2 month license. That worked perfectly and allowed me to make all the changes. Fog light button works great and the icon lights up in the dash display when in use.

Here's the headlights only vs. "Everything on". By the way, I didn't think I'd love the amber backlighting as much as I do. They look awesome.

Wire them to an upfitter. This way you can turn them off when you need to. If you ever need that upfitter in the future THEN you can find a new spot, but for now I'd recommend doing that. Easier and better since you can control it.
While that is true, I know I'd rarely turn them on if I had to flip the switch every time. Another company makes a harness that plugs into the headlight harness to run power to accessory LEDs. I'll probably try that, I'm just curious how that will work as far as when the backlight will be active.
upside down? You just flip the lenses around is allWhile that is true, I know I'd rarely turn them on if I had to flip the switch every time.

And yes, I will try to wrap up my exhaustive research in time to take advantage of your sale.
I also really appreciate that you allow so many different options as far as choosing the combination of lights for the set. I'm leaning toward your #2 recommendation.
My only real sticking point right now is which bracket I want to use, and being a bit unsure about the upside-down mounting required for the SSC2s.
And isn't the reason the lenses need to be flipped is that you are mounting the light upside down?
yeah - all kits have the lights upside down - the ss3 fan be flipped without doing anything but the ssc2 fog you just rotate the lenses around - easy
