Adding fog lights to Big Bend

[B-Dog15]

Just trying to get an idea how easy or difficult it is to install fog lights on my Big Bend? It does not have them at all at the moment.

I have found some flood lights for the Bronco Sport as well as an OEM light switch from a Bronco Sport that had fog lights that I would assume can be installed in mine.

Has anyone on here done this or had this done before? If so, how long did it take and what was the process like?

You'll have to find out first if you have the wiring installed in there otherwise you'll have to wire it all in. Shouldn't be too difficult but the bumper and front fascia will have to be removed completely which is a bit time consuming.

Brandon, my "fog" lights. Try a test. Start your car, turn you headlights to "low beam" or Dim and push on the Fog Light switch. Check the manual for which button. See if they activate. They are the same as the "cornering lights" that turn on when you steer left or right. They will not work on High Beam or Bright. I may be wrong, but according to what I read, all Big Bends come or did come with Fog Lights. Perhaps you are wanting an auxilliary set of lights. Let me know and I will try to help with an answer. It took me almost a year to find out about the cornering lights, since I never drove at night. lol Good Luck. Is your car a 22 or 23?

or… or… just look at the front of the car and see fog lamps are absent. Looking at his profile pic I can tell there aren’t any there only blank plastic covers. Also, if the fogs aren’t equipped neither will the button on the lamp mode selector knob.

Correct mine does not have fog lights at all and I am looking to add them.
And yes I do not have the push button switch BUT I did find an OEM headlight switch/ selector knob that does which I think I can just have that wired in but I am wondering if even though I don’t have fog lights, does my car still have the wiring for them already?

After speaking with my local Ford they confirmed that if your Bronco Sport does not have fog lights, that there is also no wiring for said fog lights.

However I have found an aftermarket BS fog Light set from Diode Dynamics which comes with what looks like everything I would need. Now I’m just wondering if they can be wired to the new headlight switch fog light button?

Those don't come with the main wiring harness needed. Call them first and check though

Yes I did see that. I reached out to them to see if they can give me an idea of where to get the needed harness from. Can’t seem to find it online in my short research.

Reached out to Diode Dynamics and they actually sell the wiring harness needed for Bronco Sports that don’t have factory fog lights. They also said that they “believe” that this can be wired to the new OEM headlight switch if it were to be installed but they are looking into that to double check. Looks like for the kit and harness it will be about $375ish.

Actually, I was able to run my wiring behind the grill. I did need to remove the airbox intake horn and the panel to which it was attached. A panel clip removing tool, a 10mm socket & ratchet was all I needed. Then again, these were aftermarket floods I mounted to the front/center of the bumper

OP is trying to add fog lights in factory location since vehicle didnt come equipped already with them, not add auxiliary lighting. not sure what your point is in quoting Jhnvan. read posts before you just spam irrelevant pictures.
