Default Arb jk bumper wiring help

planning on wiring my ARB amber lights to my fog lights so the amber are running lights. I am going to use led bulbs to prevent damage to amber lights. Will the splice into the fog-lights cause issue?

I would think running a wire from the side marker lights in the fenders would be a better idea. That way they would be on the same circuit.

If you wanna hook up the bumper lights to your fog lights or side light markers its easy. Go down to the local auto pars store, and get some weather proof terminal splices. Answer to ur question, no it wont cause a problem.

This is a much better idea in my opinion. Wiring it to your fogs as running lights would mean your fogs have to be on all the time.

I did the marker light mod which turns your fender lights in turn signals and wired my ARB lights to the same circuit. So now when my headlights are off (need DRL since I'm in Canada and my HIDs don't have DRL capability) my ARB amber lights and fender lights are on and they also flash as turn signales. Looks awesome, gives it a nice wide stance.

Oh and I painted the lights in the grill black a bunch of times so I don't have 3 lights on each side.
