Fog lights?

[Best]

My 2006 3500 did not come with fog lights, how hard is it put them on now? Were all trucks prewired for them? I know the head light switch has to changed, but do you have to get wiring loom?

My 03 had the fog light connector tucked up behind the driver side opening.

Mopar sells kit that includes a new headlight switch, both lights and the front harness. If you want to make the front harness you can buy just the switch and do all the front stuff yourself.

I checked this morning, two kits still available. One for trucks with existing frame harness and the other for trucks without factory frame harness..

Here's the link...

Select the harness option in the drop down box and it will give you the part number..

If I read my parts manual correctly you want 82208102AB. Says switch is included but I haven't been able to find a picture that says if it is a new headlight switch or a separate fog light only switch.

It's a new headlight switch with fog function included.

The OEM kits I've seen only come with the dash mounted rocker switch. Since my truck already had the wiring I just bought a new headlight switch, fog lights/bezels, and the bumper harness that runs from the left light to the right one. Everything was less than $100 total on eBay (OEM harness and bezels, aftermarket lights and h/l switch).

Where was the dash rocker switch suppose to mount? I might want to use it for driving lights.

That little flat area to the left of the steering column below the instrument cluster.

Thanks. That is were I was thinking of mounting the switch so that switch might be a good choice.

This one shows having the headlight switch included. I'll investigate further tomorrow..

When I broke a fog light on my 04 I bought a Mopar kit on eBay for about $20 more than I could buy a single factory light. It came with the harness, 2lights and a headlight switch, not a separate rocker.

My truck had the factory harness behind the bumper. I swapped the dash switch with a new unit from Rockauto. I have an ARB bumper. I installed some LED lights that work great for seeing deer. They are probably not DOT legal fog lights. I don't use them when near other vehicles. They are specifically for spotlighting animals at dusk coming down to the river for a drink. I've had some close calls in the past. Now with the ARB and LED cube lights I have not had a problem since. I cut out the factory connector and used my own. Cube lights were about $19 on Amazon. Probably $10 worth of wiring/connectors. The LED's have about 1amp draw each.
