Mopar hasn't released a add-on Foglight kit yet like they did for 09-12 trucks and I'm not sure if they will have a separate section of the foglight jumper harness available anytime. So for now you have 3 choices.

1- buy the complete headlight wiring harness for around $150 (I think) which has the pig tail connection for the foglight jumper. I have no idea how hard swapping this one in would be, or just steal the wiring for the fogs from it and install them onto your truck.

2- find the female connector and the correct size pins for both ends(I think, don't remember which one it is) and build your own harness

Or what I did

3- cut the end off the jumper, tie the 2 grounds together and find a good grounding point. Then extend the 2 leads to the tipm (or whatever it's called now) and tap into the foglight feed wires in slots 23 and 24. They will be white/yellow and white/orange. Be careful because the headlight wires are the same color.

It may take the dealer a few tries to get the sales code to stay. It took 4 or 5 tries before mine took.

Everything will function as if it was installed as a factory option.

If anyone has any questions about any of the install feel free to ask. I'll post some pics of the wiring and diagrams later.

Here is a link to where you can access the wiring for 2010+ trucks

when you say TIPM are you referring to the under hood power distribution center, or the Body Control Module?

Its weird, according to the drawings for the wiring diagram, the fog lights do not go to the PDC. they run through a couple connectors and then to 2 different connectors on the BCM. not sure what you tapped @ the PDC.

1500ram12 · Aug 17, 2015

I thought that at first but after a few days of studying every diagram I could find, the fogs due go to the PDC.

There are also some good pictures on the original post worth a look that may help.

can i get some pics of a final product, and overall was this pretty easy?

1500ram12 · Dec 12, 2015

Install was easy the hours of research and trying to find a section of a wiring harness that is only available with the complete front end wiring harness, not so much. This wasn't my first time adding factory fogs to a non fog light equipped truck. Did it to my 2010 2500 and 2012 1500.

Love your main headlights are those stock?

I am refering to the thread because i made a thread and your told me to come here.

Will this work for the 2013, they changed the bumper around

1500ram12 · Dec 14, 2015

The headlights are oem. I opened them up and painted them myself.

This install of the wiring for fogs will work for any 1500/2500/3500.

The bumper removal, fogs and brackets are different on the 13+ 1500's trucks where they stayed the same on the 2010-15 2500/3500 trucks and probably the 16's.

I believe CuylerTech maybe interested in building the missing part of the jumper so it will be a more factory install.

I know I'm beating the deadhorse, just wanna make sure before I order parts, it will work for that bumper aswell? Only pick on this computer

Also with all of the stuff you listed, is most of the install plug and play, from what I'm understanding from your two threads, pin 23, 24 are already wired just need to tap into them with the 3rd end of the jumper harness?

You'll need :
13+ 1500 bumper w/fog openings
13+ fog lights and brackets (should be able to find tyc replacements from rockauto.com)
The switch, jumper and sales code will be the same.

On the main harness side of the pdc will be the feed for the fogs. Just tap into those. I'd have everything done prior to having the sales code added makes trouble shooting easier at the dealership. I had it added when I had my remote start added and didn't know until everything was installed that for some reason it didn't take. Showed on the computer it was added. Took the tech 3-4 tries before it stayed.

I hope CuylerTech decides to make a "2nd jumper" to make a more complete factory install.

Feel free to ask any questions about the install. I not sure on what's the easiest way to remove your bumper. I remember it was a pain on my 12. But I may have not done it the right way.

Awesome, make sense, i should beable todo it ill bug you if i get stuck. But i think i have the wrong bumper =(

Mpgrimm2 · Dec 14, 2015

What I would like to see would be a harness option to add full factory wiring, factory fog switch, and some sort of plug for aftermarket lights that could be mounted in the bumper blanks for the tow hooks (for those of us without fog light cutouts in our bumpers).

I think its dumb they don't prewire it for anyone to add it.
