The fog light install has begun... Didn't have time today to get them wired up, because I had to stop to get the yard mowed and the granddaughter has her conference track Meet tonight. Hope I can get back on it in the morning!


Lights mounted and adjusted as close as I can tell without the lights actually on.



Mounted the lights to the bracket first, then had to remove them again so it would be easier to mount the bracket.



During the install, Jake took over my mat.....

I finally got the lights installed and wired up. It took me probably 6 or 7 hours total, but I took my time so I wouldn't get frustrated. All in all it went rather well. I'm happy with the look.


Headlights only.



Headlights with inside pair of fogs on.



Headlights with two pair of fogs on.



Headlights with all three pairs of foglights on.



All lights on with brights.



Headlights with all fogs on.



Headlights with amber backlighting on fogs.



Parking lights with amber backlighting on fogs.

That's the money shot right there. Looks sweet!

thank you for the post and pics. beautiful truck, and very personalized. i hope you don't mind, since you have great taste in lights, i am stilling the details to do to mine. couple questions though.
1: did you wire the amber to aux 1 or parking lights. if parking did you have to upgrade the fuse?
2: did you do each pair to an aux? or inside to aux 1 or 2 and the other 2 to aux 2 or 3?
3: can i Please get a part # on the mounting bracket you used?

See Chris Kelley at Freedom Motorsports and he can hook you up with the bracket and the lights. He gave me a 20% discount. Great guy and he answered every question I had and was willing to do more. I was very impressed with his service!

My original plan was to wire the amber to the parking lights, but as I got into it, that looked like a pain in the *****. So I just decided to wire the amber to aux 1. Then I wired the spots in pairs to aux 2, 3, and 4. It might have been better to have them all on aux 2, but it's really not that big of a deal. The amber backlight looks awesome at night!

thank you. i thought the wire to the aux would be easiest. could i get a pic with the amber on, headlights, and the outside fogs? does the amber turn off when u turn on the fog? i intend to do all amber on aux 1. the outside to aux 2. then the other 2 sets to aux 3 and 4 also.
