installing factory fogs, with hids....

Bad Habit · May 16, 2011

alright, my truck did not i repeat did not come with fogs, as all you know i bought fogs that are smoked, and have 5k hid's in them, thanks to AWE Daniel i now have got all my parts to now wire them up, is there a way on my 04 to hook them into the factory wiring and have them come on with my heads and go off with my heads, with out the factory style fog light switch?, i know Kevin has told me NO, but its a question i am still confused about cause i know alot changed from the 02,03 models in my 04 and later, I know i have a connection down by my front bumper on the drivers side, i think it could be for factory fogs, but its not on the passenger side....do i find a factory switch, and hope the thing is in as good looking condition my interior dash pcs are, or wire to aux switch?....opinions please.....

Yes that connection IS your fog lights and are wired to your switch . You just pull out that switch and boom for lights .

As far as wiring them so all come on at once you can use the old jumper method .

I once had a 04 and she was magical

LMC part# 56-6256 is the 02-05 headlight switch W/fogs...it's $60.00...if you don't wanna rig up a jumper...Dave, is the regular switch rated well enough to handle the fogs if you jump it?

I have known guys to do it and also I did it back in the day .. worked fine for us .

my current switch doesn't pull out for fogs, i remember on my 99 it did....

ramhunter9 · May 16, 2011

Then all you need is a new switch that has the fog switch built in ... you have the harness already

will a 04 2500 switch fit?

That im not sure of . Just get a 04 switch that has fogs ... check the junk yards or even the dealer ... cant be that much

adamwilkes14 · May 16, 2011

02-05 switches are the same according to LMC...go look up the part number I posted above...

My switch doesn't pull out to turn on/off fogs, it pushes in.

Difference in years maybe?

Bad Habit · May 16, 2011

ramhunter9 · May 16, 2011

Admin do you work for LMC ..LMOA .. wow you are good

adamwilkes14 · May 16, 2011

LOL...no, but their catalogs are a wealth of info...even if you dont buy from them.

mitchman · May 16, 2011

The 02-05 switch pulls out a little to light up the fogs, the 06-08 switch pushes (acutally the new ones do too but the switch is once again different)

You should be able to find the switch cheap, and yes, they should be the same for all the model trucks (1/2, 3/4, 1 ton) Dodge is too cheap to make a specific part when they don't have to lol

EDIT: Damn dude for $13 bucks I'd try that switch regardless hahaha

Bad Habit · May 17, 2011

yeah im gonna try the switch, im trying to work a deal with the seller to remove the auction and just let me purchase it...waiting on answer...if not ill bid low...

Bad Habit · May 17, 2011
