Default Difference between 07 fogs and 11 fogs.

I Replaced my 07 bumper with a 2011 and didn't know they changed the setup.
Below is my 07 bulb on the left and the 2011 on the right

As you can see from the photo the difference.
Is there any way to purchase that fog light harness? So I can wire it into mine. ?

What did you do with the '07 fog housing? You could use those in the '11 bumper and have a cheaper/more easily found bulb.

They were thrown out due to damage.
Will the 07 housing fit the 11 bumper?

No, they are not. '11 uses a PSX24 bulb.. very weak compared to the older stuff, and from what I understand, higher wattage bulbs will shut down the '11 computer.

Your right about the weaker fogs in the newer JK's.
I'm gonna get the 07 fog light housing and replace the 11 housing with it so I can still use the 07 bulbs.
I never had a complaint about the fog light output in my 07 but I know alot of guys here did. They light up directly in front of my jeep and I don't blind anyone.
I do run IPF auxiliary lights as well though.
There's a lot of windy hilly roads in the country roads here in PA and I've adjusted all my lights to where I don't get high beamed.

I'm actually putting my jeep back to its stock form. With the exception of the 35" Km2's. And a few other goodies.
I don't wheel anymore so no sense in carrying around extra weight.
