"Fog Light" pod install

[daddycreswell]

I am going to get me some pods to use as fog lights, I want to wire them to my headlights. One on low and both on high. Anyone does this, anything special I should do while doing this? I plan on using the wiring harness that is included that is fused. Thanks in advance....

Yes, don't do it that way. Don't be the person who runs fog lights when there is no fog.
It tends to annoy the indigenous.

Yes, one of the most annoying things High School kids do - fog lights on even in the daytime! Pretty dumb.

Me thinks I've read about swapping out the headlight switch with a fog light equiped switch, then wiring the pods into the switch so they turn on like factory f150 fog lights. Try the search function.

Fails the Occam's Razor test.
Just install the separate switch of your choice (there are some pretty cool ones now) that turn on the fogs independent of everything else.

Really didn't look very difficult to do and it looks factory.

I would just wire them to the AUX, mainly want all 4 to come on when I hit the brites

In doing so you would rob yourself of full manual control of your lighting options.
I wouldn't do that. I didn't do that, and I have two pairs of fog lights.
But it's your truck, buddy. Make yourself happy.

I concur. Around here it's more than just the high school kids: SUV's, wannabe off-road truck owners that never leave the pavement, etc.

I live just a couple of miles from Pismo Beach/Oceano Dunes in CA and the central valley goofs with chromed multiple shock suspensions, 10-12 inch lifts, all trying to outdo each other drive around the Central Coast with ALL of their lights on - light bars, fog lights, windshield pillar lights, etc.
Granted, the CHP makes a ton of money off the tickets they hand out but it still bugs every serious off-roader with their insanity.
