So I ordered with the modular bumper, which I know deletes the OEM fog lights.

Is the original fog light switch and wiring still present in the vehicle? Or do you have to wire up to one of the AUX switches - assuming you have those?

Thank you for this!

I'm summarizing what I've learned below, for my own reference - and maybe help some other people.

If I want to add fog lamps to the modular bumper using existing wiring and a 'clean' factory switch:

The wiring for the front fog lamps is included with High/Lux packages. C1322/C1323. Other builds probably don't have the front wiring harness installed, because that harness also goes to other sensors that are only used with those packages. (But then, what are C152/C162?) The Rear fog lamp wiring (C436) is probably already there. It is required in Europe, but not used in the US.




I need to replace the light switch, and enable the new controls in ForScan.



Switch M2DZ-11654-CA provides control for the front fog lamps, all the mirror accessories, but not the rear fog lamp.
Switch M2DZ-11654-DA includes all of that, and control for rear lights. (ML3Z-11654-DA will also work, but you have to remove the trunk and gas door switches and replace them with the mirror switches from the original Bronco switch. I think that one is actually for an Escort? )

(** EDIT ** I think I got that backwards - CA is front/rear; DA is front only.)

(I *think* the first two M2DZ-11654-AA and BA are the same, without the "puddle lamp", which is the downward facing white light under the mirrors.)

The existing connectors are capped with male blanks that can be reused to connect the fog lights. Yellow with Orange stripe is the power for the right side light; Brown is the power for the left side light. Ballinger Motor Sports carries the parts (male pins - CONN-100986, and seals - CONN-56057) needed to convert the existing cap into a usable water proof connection.

The factory rear fog light PN is M2DZ-15200-A. It apparently will pop right into the steel rear bumper.


And for the record, everything I put here came from "the other place."

I originally wired my fog lights to the AUX switches, and finally got around to doing this today - I worked like a charm...

The OEM fog-light wires were capped off behind the plastic panels. All I had to do was fish them out and re-pin the caps with the parts listed above. The only hiccup there was realizing that I had to pull the retaining clips out from the front to get the new pins to go into the connectors. I used a crooked O-ring pick to fish the clips out and the pins popped right in.

After that, i opened up Forscan and made the following changes:

BdyCM CONFIGURATION:
Front fog lamps - changed to "Enabled".
Fog Lamp Switch - changed to "Enabled"
Using Front Fog With High Beam - changed to "Allowed" (Bambi!)

IPC CONFIGURATION:
Front fog lamps - changed to "Enabled"

BdyCM (As-Built Configuration):
726-42-01-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx - Change the middle-four values (xxxx) to 0101

726-39-01 01xx-xxxx-xxxx (This enabled "cornering" lights. The left or right fog light comes on with the respective turn signal at low speeds. Kinda cool!)

So far, everything works fine - and it frees up one of my upfitter switches!

I bought the factory switch with both front and rear fog light controls, but haven't done anything with the rear switch yet. I'm thinking about using it to control rock lights under the wheel wells... But we'll see!

With so many switch options, trying to figure out what one I need.
Currently have Badlands with Mod bumper, and high package (so puddle, heated, blind spot) and no fog lights. Want to add front and rear fog lights with out using my aux switchs(going to use them for light bars(2), winch, air pump, rock lights and rear floods)

I bought the EU version of the headlight switch that has integrated front and rear foglight buttons. As I just mentioned, I wired the front foglight button to one pair of the amber lights in my bumper. I also wired the rear foglight button to the Diode Dynamics lights I mounted in the spare tire.

@Calgecko sorry for the delay in asking this question…I know you have posted the part number for that switch somewhere…I just can’t find it. Is that EU switch part number M2DZ-11654-CA? There is so much information to sort through on this topic and I believe you did the best job! Thanks for your time!

Calgecko

No worries - this is the one I used .. but that may vary by your application. I have Lux Badlands - so I have the mirror/zone lights, puddle lights, IBIS indicators, etc - so this is the one I needed for my application: https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-part...-headlamps-m2dz11654cc?c=cT1NMkRaLTExNjU0LUNC

I know this is older. I am curious if the rear fog wires were actually in the rear bumper and able to be used with this switch? This is backordered from Tasca, but when you look it up on Ford Parts online it does not say anything about the fog switches Like all of the others do. I am going to order this switch as I amgoing to get the RC bumper that has the integrated rear lights.

Thanks for responding. This will be the one I’ll get for sure…I have a Lux Wildtrak…so we’re close in specs.
