Lobitz68 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Im looking to add them but ebay has listings for auto and without auto whats the deal with that? my journey has no auto lights. The switch in the cab is different for DJ's equipped with auto lights. Are you getting Mopar lights or something else? Are you planning on utilizing the factory switch? If so, you would likely need to replace it. I would just add an aftermarket switch and call it good enough... Should open up your list of options too...

xcaliber81 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Looking at adding factory cause I have just the covers and pushing wires through the engine bay to the cab is a tedious task that ive done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 If you want OEM, you gotta go Dodge, either from the Dodge dealer, website or junk yard. Wiring harness is probably there, but you would need the lights and a new switch. Dealer would probably have to enable them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Looking at adding factory cause I have just the covers and pushing wires through the engine bay to the cab is a tedious task that ive done before. There is a huge grommet right next to the strut tower that you can use to run wires. I can't see it taking more that 10 minutes if you take a beer break... If you want OEM, you gotta go Dodge, either from the Dodge dealer, website or junk yard. Wiring harness is probably there, but you would need the lights and a new switch. Dealer would probably have to enable them as well. This is going to be much more tedious... You can get the aftermarket kit with an aftermarket switch on ebay that will have a housing to fit the opening... personally, I would go this route as the dealer may charge you to enable them and the cost to add all Mopar parts is going to be significantly higher than aftermarket.

dhh3 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Can you push your light switch in, towards the dash? If so, your switch will work because that is how you turn on the fog lights. Just a thought. I concur that the fog light harness may already be there because of the way that they build cars today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My switch pushes in but only pops back out instantly. Thats not true dealers have been using harnesses specific to trim levels for some time now. My 94 grand cherokee doesnt have all the harnesses because it was a laredo I had no power seat wires and the overhead console wires were not there because I had no overhead console.

My 94 grand cherokee doesnt have all the harnesses because it was a laredo I had no power seat wires and the overhead console wires were not there because I had no overhead console. Mine pops out too, that is just the nature of the switch. You push it in once and they turn on...do it again and they turn off. All of my late model Dodges have had wiring for factory fogs even if they weren't installed (2002 Ram, 2004 Dakota and 2012 Avenger), so it is definitely worth checking for it before spending the money...

xcaliber81 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Where about would it be? I would imagine its not going to be just dangling there right lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 On the vehicles I had the wiring was run as it would be if you had the option, so they ran right up to the fog light location on each side... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I initially bought my DJ, I pushed the switch in to turn on the fogs. I have never pushed it again, and the fogs come on as soon as I turn on my lights. Works every time. Is it supposed to be this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
