Diode Dynamics fog lights

[Dad]

I received mine and installed yesterday! I just need the 8" screwdriver to adjust.

Note: When removing the front facade, do not UNPLUG the harness until all of the bolts in both fenders have been removed.

I had removed the bolts on the passenger side, unplugged the harness, then went to the drivers side and turned on the truck to turn the wheels to get to those bolts inside the fender. When I completed everything and tested, I had a check engine light. Read the code and it gave the external ambient temperature sensor missing. I did make three little trips with no issues in the truck and could see the external temperature in the dash. Being impatient, I cleared the codes and still have no issues.​

Thanks for posting something we can be aware of for this install. Hoping you'll post pictures of the completed install.

Thank you! Such a great look for the Maverick. Kudos to DD for taking the leap into a much desired modification for our trucks.
Someone get me a towel . . . I'm drooling!

Going to be installing my Diode Dynamics fogs this weekend. Got my F150 switch and ordered the Ford terminals for use in the BCM pin 6 connector. I would like to thank everyone for thier contributions to making this work.
If anyone needs a Ford Termial connector. I am willing to pay it forward by sending you one. Shoot me a DM with your address and I will mail it out.

Just gave away the last one. So hopefully at least 5 more fog conversions coming.

How did you color the front emblem and trim?

Finally Got time to do the Diode Dynamics Fog light install today. Took about 3.5 hrs. I used the F150 headlight switch and pin 6 on the bcm. Programed with FORscan for left fog.

Looks awesome! And on a separate note, please throttle Alabama at your home game this year. When you or Auburn beat them, the season is always better!!

I find it amazing that sometimes it can be the simplest resolution for an unusual problem. We were able to change the IPC settings without a problem. When we changed the BCM module and attempted to write the changes, Forscan disconnected from the truck. I researched this tonight and found the potential resolution. I believe we had the key in the accessory position instead of the on position. When the key is in the accessory position, it is not sending power to every module. It will be tested tomorrow.

We worked on reprogramming the truck yesterday. Writing the required BCM changes worked correctly when the key is in the on position. It is interesting to note that we were able to write to the IPC module with the truck key in the accessory position. I am still inexperienced at using this software and am learning something every time I use it. We are happy that the fog lamps are working again after the recall's were completed.
