Just traded to a 2016 and did this mod while wiring my PIAAs. Works as advertised and just like it did in previous year models.

Finally did it to my 2103 JKU. Used the single wire method and made a video. So easy.

Default PIAA led driving lights

Anyone tried using the factory fog light wires to power the PIAA LED driving lights? I know they only draw like 5 amps each but don't want to be that guy that screws up his 2016 JKU by trying it..

You can't screw up your new truck, it simply won't power the circuit if it doesn't like them.

Yea I used the stock fog lights wires as the signal wire for my piaas. The CANBUS system won't run the lights off of the stock wiring by itself.

Works great need to add dtl but other them that it works perfect. I found I need to run mine from the white side of the side marker light because I have
aftermarket fender but that was the only change.... I just did simple test to comfirn the correct wire ... I think it took 20 mins for both sides total easy
change by far.

Default Works fine with LED turn signals

I just tried this on my 2015 JK when I put in my new led signal lights and it works fine.
Note: No marker light when headlights on, with parking lights only, the markers are on, (I drive this way so my taillights are lit, DRLs fed by ACC bus are on all the time)
