You could just wire them up to a switch or use a relay, you will probably blow the fuse if you wire them to the lows.

Also don't you need a different bumper for fogs?

 

Yea I have to buy the bumper with cut outs.

 

If I was to buy the factory switch w/fogs would I be able to use that one?

 

You should be able to. You should do a write up with pics when you do it. I would like to do it to mine too.

 

Haha I'm just asking the questions my buddy is going to do the work. I don't do wire work. I'm waiting for all the parts to come in and them a warm day. I'll let you know. I might just get flashed at the dealer if I can talk to the mechanic. Don't know how delete friendly they are.

 

The factory switch should be a simple swap, hopefully the wiring harness is the same. The wires for the fogs might even be there in the bumper already.

 

I hope so. But expect the worst hope for the best.

 

Yes once you get the bumper and switch I was told you need to get the stealer to activate it. Not sure what they do.
I want to do this too!

 

Unless you just run a switch and a relay. Like stated above. There is two ways to go about it.

 

Im also want todo the same cant wait to see how it works out. Do you know if they can reflash the truck with the deletes and my mini max on or would i have to pull it all off before flashing?

 

H&S told me I will just have to redownload the tune once they are done. I'm going to call the service manager at the dealership tomorrow.

 

Just put them on a relay and use the low beam feed as the signal. Install a lighted toggle switch and be done. No need to worry about dealer flashings.

The less the dealer messes with my truck the better IMO.

 

know that's the best advice I've read all day I tied into my running lights and put a relay to run my fogs also I kept my Ranch hand bumper from my 08 and did a little cutting on it to make it fit my 12 3500 ST so i have 08 (round) fog lights but who cares they workarty018: just installed HID's from Retro solutions on my headlights know I'm thinking I need to up grade the fogs cause they are yellow compared to the 6000 hids

 

I wan't the factory look. I'm going to use a wiring harness with fogs and put on the quad headlamps.

 

the reason I put them on the running lights was so they would stay on with the low and high beam

 

Well with the mini maxx I can turn that feature on. I can just hook up everything like factory.

 

Anyone have the part numbers for it?

I have an aftermarket bumper, I don't mind doing the wiring (prefer it separate anyhow).

What's the numbers for the kit, or the individual fogs/mounts?

 

They dont make a kit for our trucks. They only make it for the 1/2 Rams. I looked into doing this a few months back and just ended up doing Silverstar light bulbs.

Things to be thankful for.........The fact that we still have the right to bear arms.....so far.

 

I dont know where you're getting your info from. The kit is the same for 1/2 tons. The bumper is different. All you need is a factory switch, bumper, mounting brackets, quad lamps, fog light harness, headlight wiring harness, have dealer upload the code via star scan.

Read that

 

Got my info from here and the dealership in my area. I know it was done on a 2010 but my truck is a 2012. From what i read on here and other forums the best option was auxilary switch with relay. But the kit you are talking about which i am sure will work on 2500, 3500 trucks in the Mopar catalog at my dealer was listed for the 1500 trucks only.

I want the factory look as well and would like to know for sure someone actually has done OEM with OEM switch before i buy the used bumper with cutouts and the 1500 foglamp kit.

But with that being said no one could tell me for sure if a power seat on an ST was plug and play and it was but my dealer wasn't sure about that either. Well I have a power seat in my ST truck now (all wiring harnesses were there). Hopefully you are right but i dont want to be the guinea pig on this one.

I know i read a thread about a guy who spent a ton of money on his 2011 ST trying to get factory fogs to work all OEM thru his dealership with no luck and ended up doing an auxilary switch with relay. Also read that 2010 wiring is different from 2011 and up. Read that on here as well.

Things to be thankful for.........The fact that we still have the right to bear arms.....so far.

 

i have a 2012 2500 slt came with no fog lights, i just ordered new bumpers to color match(with fog light holes) , got factory switch, and 2011 factery wire harness with fog plug, fog lights, getting painted today. will install tomarrow, will keep you guys posted on how it works for me.

 

What part number headlight harness did you get? I have the wrong one right now. Of course nobody can give me the right one.

 

I have the complete front headlamp harness like fogs, headlamps, horns, hood plug, etc.. It runs all the way across the front of the truck and plugs in the fuse box. You can just get the fog light wires and just zip tie them all the way upto the fuse box and plug them in to a plug in the fuse box plug. That's how the factory mopar kit comes that I was reading on yesterday. It still says you need the star mobile tool and gotta have the code put in it but ill try today bumpers got painted lastnight getting installed today

 

Right, I have all that. But I couldn't find on my headlamp harness that I have a place for the fog light harness to plug into the headlamp harness. Pretty sure I have the wrong headlamp harness.

 

can someone post up the part numbers to do the fog light add and the quad headlight conversion? i'm going to want to do all this. and does anyone have a write up on it anywhere?

 

Lilchopchop, how did the install go?? I bought a bumper last week to do it to my 2012 and would love to have the parts list you needed in order to install. Also an idea on what everything cost you?
Thanks,
Joe

 

I called the dealer about getting the fogs turned on.. They said they might have to programs the TPS (sp)(tpis)? does that sound right? If so how do thye do that.. plug into the OBD port and reload a tune? or is that separate?

I GOT EVERYTHING ALL HOOKED UP. no fogs lights yet was susposed to take it in to the dealership yesterday but was busy with work. install was easy... i work at a body shop so i got paintable front and rear bumpers for 471$ my 2011 dodge totaled out so i stole the fogs out of that and the harness i stole out of their also the button i got from that truck as well. but so far their in their but non working tell i go to stealership.. they said they want to charge me 1-1.5 hours to install the code in the truck.

 

That's the new bumpers

The truck with the old bumper

The 2011 wire harness was different so I had to cut up that harness to get the fog light wires out. So from the plug all the way up to the fuse box.

The stock plug at te fuse box,

The stock plug once I put the fog light wires in..(white/yellow, white/orange)

Where I ran the wires. From their to the fuse box

I hooked the ground up right their. That's right next to the battery and fuse box.

I taped it up with the factory headlamp harness and ran it to the fuse box

The dirty looking wire is the fog lamp one.

Fuse box all put back together

Getting ready for new bumper

And once it was all done that's how it sits. Just need to go to dealer now

That was my install.
