Fog light for 2019 Tradesman

[kellie]

Thank you

 

[Olive2020]

Hey guys, thanks for the info on the fog lamps. I am looking forward to adding these to my tradesman as well. One question.

What did you use for a connector/ harness to the bulb? Was it anything unique or special? Pictures from the backside would be awesome if possible.

Thanks,

if you're talking about the crossover harness between the fogs, I just built a harness and used some h11 pigtails off of amazon.

 

[Olive2020]

Yes! The h11 pigtail is the connector code I was looking for.

Thank you,

I'm still waiting for my bezels to come in. But when they do I plan on using H11 connectors like these...

Factory fog lights installed. Thanks to elephantrider for the part numbers. The dealer was no help at all. Wired them to up fitter switch #1 . Used a relay even though I really didn’t need to.

It looks great and I would like to do the same. Could you please send a list of part numbers including both lights, any bezels and brackets. Thanks!

it's literally on page of this thread

I added factory fogs and wired them to a switch so I could have high beams and fogs simultaneously.

I had the dealer install the factory brake controller with no issues.

I just got my 2020 Tradesman, I put the OEM LED fog lights in the bumper, I have two OEM connectors for the LED lights and no idea how to wire. The fog lamps each have a four wire connector? would you by chance have a schematic on the wiring?

 

[elephantrider]

i don't have a schematic. i used the halogen lenses so it would match the headlights.

what color are the 4 wires ?

 

[Cinderblock_sniper]

I’m going to wire these into my upfit switch panel, which looks a bit intimidating, but first question, just connect the blacks together from R-L and ground to the frame, then connect the other word together and run them to the switch block?

If you have the Aux switches, there are two connectors under the hood near the firewall. You have a wire bundle that came with the option.

You just need to bring your 12V load into one of them and program the switch settings in the EVIC.

I don't know if it helps or not, but I just looked at my '19 Tradesman with the factory LED fog lights (Safety Group). The driver's side LED fog has a white/yellow wire and a black wire. The passenger side LED has a white/orange wire and a black wire. Each light only has 2 wires connected. Based on the nature of the wiring now, I'm sure the LED's are wired separately from the factory such that the vehicle "sees" each LED fog light separately.

Does anyone know the part number for the screws that are used to mount the actual fog light to the bracket. I ordered the lights, brackets and bezels.....the screws were not included.

Those will be $3.99/ea. Thank you, FCA. Typical these days where everything is a purchase item.

Hahaha....I didn't find $3.99 that surprising. So I went looking around online and was pleasantly surprised to find them for $0.63.

I just ordered all the parts (I think - bezel, bracket, hardware) to install fog lights on my Tradesman (when it arrives - just placed an order) minus the actual fog lamp. I intend to install the Baja Designs Fog Pocket kit (see link below) and need a little help with getting these wired up. I want to control the fog lights from one of the factory installed auxiliary switches I ordered with the truck. From reading on here and other forums, it sounds like I need some sort of harness to get from the fog lights to the auxiliary switch, right? I have no idea what materials I need to make this happen. Do I need a fuse? Relay? I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to the electrical side of things so forgive me if I'm way off.

Also, any opinion on SAE vs non-SAE lights?

You do not have to go to the switch, there is a port on the firewall. You use the wire accessory kit that came with truck, if outfitted with aux switches.

 

[Brutal_HO]

If you have the Aux switch option, you should have a bag of wires and this instruction sheet.

P.S. The gray plug in that bag gets plugged in way up behind the dash about horizontal with the headlight switch and close to the firewall if you want to send power to the rear blunt cut wires by the spare tire. There are two loops in that bundle, ignition and bat+, that you can also tap into if needed. I'd fuse anything you add.

There's also a wire in that bundle that connects to the pass-thru labeled port on the AUX firewall connector. You can loop an aux position back through that pass-thru to bring a switched aux into the cab without drilling holes or pushing through another bundle. Light Grey firewall plug #4, circuit G425.

There will soon be a full document showing all those options with superb examples and wiring details put up by @thestuarts but I think he hasn't finished polishing it or published it yet. If he did, I missed it.

Pretty sure each aux switch has its own fuse and relay, they are located in the little fuse box next to where you connect the wires on the drivers side firewall under the hood. It’s a apiece of cake.

 

[dug]

Thanks for the replies. I ordered my truck with the auxiliary switches (haven’t received truck yet) so I should expect to get a bag of wires. I assume I still need to purchase wires/harness to get from fog lights to firewall, right?
