I'll try to take pictures in the next couple of days to show my install. Basically though, the only mounting location for the source i could come up with was to mount it on the passenger side of the engine cover. That made it easy to run wires to the battery, and to come off of the fire wall for accessory harnesses.
Did you ever get some pictures of the setup? I think many of us are curious to see

We are still working on getting something together, we will update as we have new information.

MCDAVIS, what fog bucket are you using here? Looks nothing like any F150 bucket I've ever seen

Looks nice! Very clean.

I just found this. 15amp Bluetooth 12v remote switching. I think it has 4 channels.

There is something like this, that is easy to hookup and you can buy quick disconnect cables.

That's a set of aftermarket knockoffs I found online. Brand new. All I did was cut the lens off with a hacksaw. I did have to enlarge the socket where the bulb typically is so that the Rigid plug would pass through.

Mind sharing which aftermarket ones those are? Seems like a simple way of doing it.

Bought 'em on Amazon. I knew that since I was going to cut them up that I didn't want OEM. I couldn't get them to bake open, so I got to cutting:

You went a little further than I did ...I just drilled a hole in the bottom of the fog bucket after I took the housing out...

And I'm just not digging the square peg in a round hole, so there is a pair of JW Speaker fogs sitting at the house waiting for me if I ever get to go home from work! I'm thinking about losing the factory fog switch all together. Only problem is that per AK law, only 6 forward facing lights can be on at a time...

Does a bar count as ONE (1) light? If so just run 4 50" bars and the headlights

That's what I'm saying! They probably count turn signals, headlights, and fog lights. 2+2+2=6 that's a bummer!
