Modified fog lights
Has anyone installed after-market fog lights and used the OEM fog light wiring and switch?
If so, where is the thread? If no thread, how can I do it?
Thanks

You'll probably just need to wire a seperate circuit with a relay, and use the factory wiring to send the signal to the relay. That's what most people have done who want to use the factory switch. Seems the factory bulbs are like 45 watts, and anything bigger trips the circuit breaker. Most aftermarket lights are 55 watts or more.

Just completed it.
PIAA 510s on the bumper now.
I used all the wiring provided by PIAA, but did not incorporate the PIAA switch. I connected the OEM fog light harness to the relay in it's place.
Now, the factory fog light switch and wiring acts as a "switched" power to the relay.
Thanks for steering me to the right forum.

Yup, that's what I did on the Mopar bumper that I had. Very simple to do. Now we need some pics.
