Default fog lights

so I took off my front bumper and noticed a wire that is in a piece of plastic conduit. My bumper does not have headlights but could this possible be what this wire is for.

I have read that the Jks in Europe have a switch to change the angle of the fog lights. Could this wire belong to thatt.

I think that is the wire for the drivers side wheel sensor.

I noticed it as well when I added front tow hooks. Didn't trace it out so I'm not sure what it's for either. I'll try and trace it out this weekend.

The Euro ones fogs don't tilt. Their headlights tilt. Not sure what the wire your talking about goes to though.

No.

to the absolute best of my knowledge, unless the Jeep is specifically order with the foglights, there are NO wires installed for them. there is not a universal harness they put in then just add the lights, it is built to accept them from the start with a different harness.

This question comes up a LOT, so I asked someone i think I can trust at the stealership and that is the information i was given at that time. I did post this up somewhere else a while back, but it's probably been lost to the annals of time
