Another thing I just thought of is the led didn't come with a relay harness. It came with weird setup I had no clue so I just wired them all into the fog wires
Only downside to that is you can't have fogs and highbeams on at the same time
Good to know cause that was my plan..... So curious what happens when you hit the High Beams with the LEDS on?

Do it now with your fogs it's just a law that fogs can't Be on with high beams idk why.

So Chrysler has it built into the computer when you have high beams on it cuts power to the fogs

Hmmmm I did not know that. Tell you the truth I've never really noticed since mines mostly stock and since
I haven't added any extra lights I've never bothered to get out n walk to the front and look with the highs on.
Thanks learn something new everyday.

FWIW...I don't have this set up. I got a Superchips FlashCal and you can set it up to run high beams with fog lights. I got it to adjust for tire size. Not sure if this would work for your application, but if they are wired off the factory wires it should. I'm pretty sure there are other programmers that can do this too, the FlashCal just fit my needs.

Default eBay bumper

A buddy of mine had one. Lights kept blowing out and the powder coat started to peel off within one year. Now he has a Rugged Ridge bumper instead.

I have the paramount knock off bought on eBay. Paid $280. Identical to yours. Nothing but problems with mounting. Holes didn't line up, bolts were all different size and thread, and missing one stud. Don't buy from guy in Vegas on eBay. Can't remember his name. Get what you pay for.......learn this every time. Other than that, wired into factory fog harness, so far so good. Every time I open the doors the LEDs dimly light up for a minute or so then turn off.

Sorry to hear that cloddhopper. Yea I bought on ebay also but from e-Autogrilles. Only problem I had was the bolt holes were just a tad off but a quick run of the cordless with a step bit and right on it went. As for the LEDS it didn't have direct plug ins for the factory connectors so I did a little wire cut and splice job and Walla everything's working good. So far pretty happy with it. Now to get a winch on it and get it out on the trail and see how it holds up.

Please keep us posted on how it holds up and your feelings on it. I need to get a front bumper and have been looking at this exact one. Looks really good on your jeep.
