F-150 Fog Lamp Switch and Wire Harness Installed in Maverick - DIY

[Vtec87pr1]

@A.Bursell @Vtec87pr1 thank you for you great write ups. i wound up going with @Justin.23 JJC /ss3 light setup for fog and driving lights combo setup. Thanks to your writups i was able to get the fog lights working however i do have a question i feel like yall might be able to answer. i tried to setup the driving lights using a relay having the trigger tapping into the high beam wire but the high beam wire is hot all the time! i then tried to tap into the high beam signal from the BCM to the Battery Junction box wire and that is always hot too!!!!! any idea how i can find a wire that is only active when the high beams are active?????????? im at a loss this makes no sense....

I wish I could understand what your truing to do here. Are you trying to have the Fog ligths work on High beam too ?

No, the yellow lights are fog lights that now work with my f150 fog switch. The white/clear lense SS3s are high beam/ driving lights. I’d like to have the driving lights wired with a relay to the oem high beams to come on with the high beams for more light.

I don't recommend having high beams on all the time . But you could used tap the realy to the high beam bulb positive wire .

Hi guys . I just want to give thanks to all for the request of wiring and for those that I helped . With their harness.

For the whole harness including the 2 terminals from the bcm to the front bumper I will ask 260.00 this will include shipping . Why the price it's because materials are getting super high. I will try my best to make super easy plug and play other than doing the forscan stuff and adding the 2 bcm terminals. To make it look oem . I will only do this if I get 5 or more request. If not its not worth doing it.

The one simple wire I say simple because you can do it your self. I don't mind doing for 100 dollars including shipping. This wire will go from Bcm to white Triger wire from The diode dynamics . Enough wire so you can trim and hide your self.

Thanks everyone that have help and supported me with my language skills here on the DYI. If I miss something let me know. I might change from expensive insulation to Ford oem vinyl tape.

Heres all the stuff you need to make the harness your self.

 

[Vtec87pr1]

Heres with some connectors customer provided .

@Vtec87pr1 you're so appreciated for your innovation and willingness to step outside most folks comfort zones.

If anyone is interested I just listed an F150 fog light switch on eBay. I also might have the complete Diode Dynamics fog light kit for sale too... if they won't take my very late return. I ended up never installing them and am selling my Mav.

Can't wait to do this in a few months! Still collecting parts.

Another happy customer make sure you follow his build. Looks great.

What an emotional journey. Thank you for all the great info and posts. I WAS super bummed there is no fogs coming on my 25. This gives me hope that I can install them. Just have to wait and see what the new Lariat Black Appearance Package lower valence looks like.

I landed on this thread from the Forscan sheet, so I haven't looked into running the Elite's amber halos as part of the DRL circuit (Canadian). Should be doable at this point.

If you decide to proceed with the Diode Dynamics in-bumper mount kit and you want fender flares, do the fog light kit first. This is because the 'bumper' will need to be removed and fender flares usually are attached to the bumper as well as the fender.

I mean the 2025 you could just buy the lower valance of the lobo with their fog lights. And they probably will have the terminals like the 2022 to 2024.

 

[Nootch]

That is a good point. I will look into that.

That is a good point. I will look into that.

it's a great suggestion by Antonio but bear in mind the Lobo lower valence is painted to match, so I would expect it to come primed instead of finished black plastic like all the other trim levels use.

these parts should be visible / accessible to dealerships now but they might have to poke around to find it. the lobo is body code 702A they should be able to find it with that.

it would look great, but once you get a Lobo lower valence, factory fog lights, and then probably have it painted by a body shop you would be in for a whole lot more money than buying a diode dynamics fog light kit.
