direct wire harness LED fog lights modular bumper

[AK53]

I'm looking for LED fog lights that directly connect to the OEM wire harness connector. I found a lot of lights that plug into head light connector or AUX switches. I already have a factory fog light push button. I'll attach a picture of the OEM connector. Any suggestions?

??? That's not a standard connection a Badlands would have. Did you buy a take-off modular bumper from a Raptor or something?

That's the connector, found on a Raptor, that plugs into the y-splitter which plugs into both sets of Rigid Fogs...

Or is that your factory harness that you're showing us a photo of. Your profile photo has a capable bumper. Soo did you change out to a modular bumper? The harness on a capable (using you factory capable bumper harness) has an H11 connector. That's not an H11.

A truck with a factory mod bumper, has an MX150 style connector, that is 4 pin connector.

Sooo my guess... you got a harness from a Bronco Raptor?

And absolutely don't choose your lights, any of them, with the requirement of matching a connector! Seriously.

Most lighting suppliers, like 4x4TLEDs just above, sell well made adapters that convert from various/common factory connectors to various/common aftermarket light connectors.

Bit of advice, reach out to @SPVPARTS. That's the way to go if you're talking about lighting and wiring.

Confused. Your lights should plug directly into the plug for original crap fogs. @Diode Dynamics do for sure, most of the others I'm sure as well.

I will break this all down. Hopefully this helps others as well.

For those who are converting their Broncos with a take off Bronco Raptor Bumper... OR Those who are swapping fog lights from a Bronco Raptor Bumper-

Here is what you are running into...

There is a harness installed in the bumpers that is unique to the trim level of the truck the bumper is on or came off of.

The harness will have connectors for Parking Sensors, Adaptive CC and Fogs if they are on the truck.

That harness will combine to ONE large Molex connector that plugs in just behind and at the base of the driver side wheel well liner.

When you swap bumpers, you generally want to take your bumper harness off in case you have different pieces on the bumper (Like parking sensors, adaptive cc, Fogs, ETC)

Hopefully you can all follow this because it may get a little more confusing...

If the truck itself, originally had a standard bumper with fog lights or a capable bumper with fog lights... Your stock harness that is on your original bumper will have H11 connectors for the ONE fog pair... You will want to KEEP and transfer that harness from your original bumper over to the conversion Raptor bumper...
This is what the H11 matching connector adapters look like-

https://www.specialtyperformancepar...s-w-many-vehicles?_pos=5&_sid=4bc717dbe&_ss=r

If you are converting a NON Raptor version to have a take off RAPTOR bumper. You would want this H11 Adapter to Molex-

https://www.specialtyperformancepar...-bronco-to-raptor?_pos=3&_sid=4bc717dbe&_ss=r

And then this Molex Splitter which would combine BOTH Pairs of the OEM Raptor lights into the ONE connection you have.

https://www.specialtyperformancepar...-pair?_pos=1&_psq=molex+splitter&_ss=e&_v=1.0

You could also get a single pair fog harness to run up to the switches if you prefer for the second pair here-

https://www.specialtyperformancepar...ails?_pos=1&_psq=single+pair+fog&_ss=e&_v=1.0

With these matching adapters-

https://www.specialtyperformancepar...etails?_pos=4&_psq=molex+adapter&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Or if your truck never had Fogs at all you can get this OEM Raptor fog conversion harness just to the aux switches-

https://www.specialtyperformancepar...ss?_pos=1&_psq=conversio+harness&_ss=e&_v=1.0

The Main reason you want to take your original bumper harness with you is because some of your stuff may not match.

If you have sensors and adaptive cruise. You may be able to use the built in harness if it is still on the Raptor bumper, but the way it was configured is, the one pair of lights (with covers) was on Aux 1 and the other pair was on the fog switch. When you plug it into the truck, there is a mismatch because NON Raptor versions do not have the Aux 1 wire run down through there so that line would be DEAD. Only the Fog switch connection would have power.

That pretty much covers the "Bumper Swap" situations.

Next, lets talk about the Bronco Raptor Fog swaps and their original connectors. (There may still be some crossover)

The connector you show in your photo is a PRE connector on a Raptor Bumper Fog pocket. Because Ford wanted assembly to be faster, they have a 2 connector pig tail behind the back cover of the housing that merges to the ONE 4 pin connector you are showing there.

Here are photos of an OEM Fog housing, with cover removed and of the Pig tail harness. You will want to RETAIN and REMOVE that harness if you are trying to swap lights or access each pair. Because the adapters are to connect to the 2 pin Molex connectors..

If you LOST or need a replacement. We have a couple CUSTOM ones available. You can reach out to us.

(Photo of custom produced Pig Tail )

From there... What plugs into those would be the MOLEX Fog adapters... Here is a link-

https://www.specialtyperformancepar...ynamics-radiance?_pos=22&_sid=c8c195c53&_ss=r


So with this, you can plug into the Fog switch and the Aux 1 (if the truck is a Raptor)

Hopefully this helps...

I bought a modular take off bumper and tried to use the harness and parking sensors from my capable bumper to install RC winch mount. But my sensors were different from what I saw in the installation instructions. I needed L shaped sensors so I ordered them from Ford {don't buy them from eBay, lol}. I also used my Ford points and bought a new harness with the fog lights connectors that is probably for the Raptor. I thought that are some LED fog lights that I can just connect to the factory wire harness. There are some pig tails connectors so I'll try some of those or just wire it to the AUX switch.
Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your response.

Ahh yeah that's why then. That harness is for the Bronco Raptors that's why nothing is lining up for you properly. The Bronco Raptors use a Y-Cable that splits that 4 pin into 2x 2pin connectors, MX150 style 2-pin connectors.

I don't think that harness will work properly for you. On the Bronco raptors the fog switch controls one of those and then aux 1 is the other set. Your aux 1 is actually in the engine by by the firewall, not in the bumper. So that harness isn't designed for your truck.

I'm not 100% sure it'll work for you since your truck was wired different then a bronco raptor.

That's RC for ya... they make a replacement bumper but then their holes don't line up to your factory sensor holes. Go figure.
