wiring harness to retain fog light wiring/button with aftermarket bumper

[Thep1zzaman]

I'm looking to change out the front and rear bumpers on my 23 Laramie.

Some of the options I'm looking at are from Warne, Go Rhino, and Vice Designs.

I would like to retain the use of my factory fog light button for activating whatever fog lights I would install in those bumpers.

I've never swapped bumpers on a vehicle before so I'm a little out of my element with figuring out what harness I would need to retain use of the factory wiring/button, any recommendations?

I don't have access to a Laramie but the foglight harness *should* be the same across trims.
If that is the case, get this kit and call it a day: Dodge/Ram S2 Sport Dual Fog Pocket Light Kit - Ram 2019-22 1500 Rebel; 2021-22 1500 TRX - Baja Designs - Off-Road LED & Laser Lights | Automotive, Jeep, Truck, UTV, ADV, Dirtbike

If you already have fog lights secured, you can always email BD to see if they will sell you the harness to the OE fog light harness only. Just know it maybe a bit expensive.

Or, the most cost-efficient way (and most mickey mouse way) to do it is to use t-taps to tap into the OE harness and run wires out and tape off the OE connectors. I wouldn't do it that way though, unless my customer puts a gun to my head and demand me to do it like that.

If you know how to do basic wiring get these and make your own harness. This will plug right into the factory LED fog light connectors, not sure if the halogen connectors are the same. No need to spend hundreds of dollars. I also bought some Deutsch connectors that plugged into the connectors on my light pods to make the harness with.

You sure you have enough lights up front?

I think I have my lighting/wiring plan figured out.

I've ordered the Go Rhino BR6 bumper, and I'm planning to order the Vice Design's FNG SAE with their wiring harness to use the factory fog light wiring/button.
