So i bought some foglights with color shift halos. I wired them up correctly and the halos work. They connect to a control box in the cab and from there to the battery. I can control the colors and patterns with an infrared remote that was included.
But the actual fog light bulbs will not come on.

My truck originally did not have fog lights nor the plugs on the the P and D sides. So i bought a Mopar fog light wiring harness thats made just for the dodge ram. It had 2 plugs on the harness.. And some sort of connector...which looks like it. connects to a plug that was hanging down on D side of my truck.
Sort of a square shaped piece..it fit perfectly into that plug.
I assumed that this was a relay or a connection that would connect my fog lights in conjunction with the headlights, so if i were to turn my headlights on..the fog light bulbs should light up as well.

I guess i was wrong. The fog light bulbs will not turn on at all.
What do i do now? I seen things online about power switches?.. but i dont understand how to connect one.

Not sure they come on auto with the headlights on mine with factory fogs you need to press in on the light switch knob to activate the fogs on and off. If you dont have that option you might be able to call the dealer and see if they can program it to come on with your headlights or swap out the switch for one with factory fogs.

Other thing might be they need a relay if they are LED and not drawing enough power. I know the morimotos you need the resistors with for them to work properly.

I put in fog/driving lights from MOPAR after I bought my truck. It came with the harness for the lamps, but it also cam with a rocker switch that I had to mount in the dash to turn them on. Everything came in a kit when I bought it.
You are right with the connections for the lamps, already there, I believe it's the same for the rocker switch. It's been a while since I installed them.
