Default After market fog light help

My JK did not come with the factory fogs , but i have been looking at alot of bumpers that have the access holes for the factory fogs and i seem to like the looks of these over the looks of non factory fog bumpers. now that al has been explained .... the question is where can i find after market fogs that will fit to the factory size holes? been looking and havent found any thing. and what size are the factory fogs.

Or if any one has a factory bumper with fogs still in it just laying around that they would like to donate to a lowly poor public servent (notice the attempted guilt trip?) that would solve my bumper prob, seeing as wouldnt need to get after market to put lights in if had a factory one. I KNOW... wishful thinking but if you dont ask then you dont know

I was wondering the same thing. My 2 door didn't come with fog lights and all of the bumpers I'm looking at have holes for them. I haven't found replacement fog lights yet and would love to find an answer to this problem.

I can't speak from experience, but from what I have read on this forum, the PIAA 510 fog lights seem to fit the factory holes. They are about 4" in diameter and are much brighter than the factory fog lights. I think the factory fogs are just under 4" in diameter. I am considering these to replace my factory fogs.

Good luck.

I thought I did help. PIAA 510. Quadratec has them for about $200 a pair complete with wiring harness. The hole size in the stock bumper is about 4", so the factory fogs are slightly smaller (3-15/16" maybe?). What else did you need to know?

If i could find stock fogs from here is there a wiring harness that will mount up to them with out having to go to the dealer and give them my first born child?

Sorry, can't help you there. But if you want the stock fog light switch, you may have to buy from Mopar ($$$) and replace the one you have now. The new control cluster with the fog light switch probably comes with the wiring harness and everything else. Otherwise, you can just buy a relay, some wires and a switch and wire up the stock fogs yourself for much less $. It just won't look stock from inside. Search on the Write-up forum for how to hook up a wiring harness with relays. It's not difficult.

Again, although the stock fogs are decent, the PIAAs are much better and come with their own wiring harness and relay already. Just FYI, I just checked ebay for the PIAA 510 and found some for $165. Not sure what the stock fogs and a wiring harness will set you back.

Hope this helps.

You should easily be able to find someone to sell you a set of factory fogs for reasonably cheap. Plenty of us have done that in the past. As for wiring it all up, etc., that is also pretty easy, but takes a few hours to do it right (i.e. make it look factory).

Here is a thread that tells you everything you need to know (my write-up for factory fogs is the 10th post, but others on the thread also give their input).

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-show-tell-33/%2445-off-road-driving-lights-11339/

As an FYI, if you want the factory fogs look, do not bother with the dealership. The $200 kit for them is not the round fogs you are thinking of, and to replace the oval fogs in that kit with the round 4" ones you are referring to would cost another $400, so I highly suggest getting your fogs from someone on this forum who will sell for cheap, or aftermarket.

Hope that helps.
