    Thought I could clip my existing fog light plug off, splice in the end off the new light harness and get some fogs to come on. Nope. The bumper has 2 fogs per side and includes a pigtail that takes wiring into a single plug.

    Any idea why I can't get the new fogs to light up?

    I've heard from several sources that RC sent these out with faulty plugs :(

    Ok figured it out. After talking to several people who have the same bumper, the possibility that the polarities/wire colors were switched became a good lead to hunt down. Sure enough I pulled the splice apart and checked the black wire in the fog light harness - test light lit. So black was red and white was black. Fantastic. Same thing applied to the other side.

    Did you wire the fogs to your existing switch, if so what harness did you use. I picked up a bumper with lightpods that only have the red/black wires so I need to splice to a harness that will connect to my existing Deutsch
