Has anyone done "conversion" of fog lamps to a less costly lamp, oh, & used the original fog lamp switch?? Thanks

 

What exactly do you mean by a less costly lamp?

 

I just ordered some new lenses and some led bulbs for my 99 sport 4x4... I'd do an led light bar if your into that. that's my next light upgrade, I needed new fog lenses though so that was first and I figured I'd upgrade the bulbs too.

 

What kinda light bar were you thinking of?

 

There's tons of brands out there if you wanna spend more you can b ur can get a good bar for under 100$ ...i'm not gonna advertise a certain brand or anything though.. and they can be mounted in a ton of places at your desired length. Check amazon make sure to read reviews and avoid anything under 4 stars rating.

 

Sorry If you meant for me... I plan to buy a 400$ 50inch curved bar for right above my windshield.. pm me if you want specs on brand...also want to do 2 20 inch behind my grille I think it'd look good but no way to know I've never seen it on a gen 2 searched for pics everywhere

 

My apologies if I was not succinct. I would like to use the existing fog lamp mounting holes. I checked to see how much @ our Dodge/Ford garage it seemed like it was north of $400 w/ bulbs & lenses. I'm scotch $200 seems like it would be on the very high range for me. I want it to end up using the factory switch. I've seen some gen 2 w/ a different looking light in them. I can always divert my plan & forget it too. Thank you!

 

Yes, you can use the factory fog lamp switch for aftermarket lights. Whatever you add, use a relay. You use the factory switch to activate the relay. The relay switch the power direct from the battery.

You can get the inexpensive factory fogs, LEDs, etc. If you do HID...then be mindful of the power pulled to size the proper wire and fuses.

 

My buddy just bought a new set(pair of 2) of fogs on amazon for under $30us and new 896 led bulbs that are direct replacement for his truck... looks great he got 6000k white xenon from jdm astar on amazon as well(I also ordered those for my gen 2 ram)the bulbs were under 25$us if I'm not mistaken... factory switch and everything still in use no error codes or anything.

 

Keep in mind these are led bulbs not hid or halogen... when they say xenon talking about an led bulb they are most likely referring to the color.
