That's not the factory fog light wiring. Factory Bronco fogs use an H11 connectorMy factory fog wire harness connector looked a little than those connectors. Did Ford change them at some point? Here's what I had.
Part of it was. The other part received a shipping label today but wasnāt sure if it was sent out yet.
thank you for thisEven 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 driver side and the brown is + for the passenger 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.
That's what I have on my Bronco from Ford's factory. Based on the postings and research of @d2Hanover (Ford engineer whose was a big contributor of unknown details but his account & many of his posts were since deleted - rumored to be at the request of Ford) as well as my own experience with the connectors, I believe it's a EV6/EV14 connector or something with a similar name...admittedly a bit unusual of a wiring connection in the context of fogs. Worked perfectly on my factory fog connectors. Here are some pics of the factory fog connector from different angles. Others on the forum have used the same with success. And, in fact, the blank is already in the harness and you just add the appropriate pins. It does does not appear to be a H11. Maybe something changed that you came up with a different connector to be used.
It stems from Ford using a one-size fits all wiring harness across it's truck lines for particular packages and the connectors happen to be there but unused on the Bronco. It's on the Lux package and I believe the High package -- another way to look at it...I believe it's there if you have the sensors in the bumper as it is reportedly part of that wiring harness.
Since I know you don't live too far from me, I might have to bug you to come help me do this to my rig... I'll include beer (or liquor, I'm more of a liquor drinker than beer), tunes, and if needed, cashEven 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.

Speaking from experience. I replaced my front and rear bumpers on my wildrak luxe. Wiring harness has 4 sensors wired with fog lights tied into the harness on the front.
I updated the original post with my settings and findings
Thank you!
Which button is the factory fog light switch? All I see are high beam notices.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.

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.
- 726-42-01-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx - Change the green value to 0101
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.
