Call me stupid but I just noticed the openings on the front bumper with no fog lights. I found a wiring harness on the drivers side hanging down in that hole. It's about 1/2" white square connector. Anyone know what it belongs to???

Does your rig have an engine block heater?

I have a 2011, and I'm pretty certain there's no wires hanging down on mine.

It's a pet peave of mine that a $42K+ premium sport truck can't be had with fog lights, not even as an option. Hell, you can get factory fog lights on a just about anything now. Maybe the SVT boys thought that we'd want to choose our own lighting and leave the 4 upfitter switches unused so we could roll our own.

I believe that was the reasoning behind it, SVT didn't put any fogs on the truck so guys could decide on their own what they wanted to do. I agree an option to get them would have been nice. I wish they ran wires for them but left them capped off. I'd prefer to just pull the headlight knob to turn fogs on rather than flip an upfitter switch.

Fog lights suck anyways.

I don't think fog lights really do much, my M3 doesn't have them either and I don't miss them. I would rather put Aux lights in the bumper/grill.

I agree, anyone that wants more light, will get there own anyway. factory fogs suck on every vehicle I have owned.

After further looking I found the small front corner marker light was never connected. Clipped it in and good as new. Oh shit it is new...
