So i baught the mopar fog lights, looks strong, durable, and mounting is awesome. The installation wasn't too bad, gotta be a little tech savy as you have to insert some wiring into a factory harness, but they look great. Just wish I could F**KING USE THEM!!! Apparently once you install it, the dealer has to use StarScan to turn on the fog light feature! So now I have to wait til monday, and prolly some more $$$ to get the dealer to turn it on, if i can find one, considering i didn't pay the $200 for the install!!!!!!!!!

Sorry guys, had to vent!

Good to know. I was thinking of getting a set. For the switch, you just swap out the old with the new right? Any pics of how they look and where you put them?

Keep us updated man, Ive got an ST and want to add Fog lights so I'm interested in what I need the dealer to do for them to work, and more importantly the cost.

Installation was pretty easy. Wiring wasn't bad, gotta take the fuse panel out of it's pocket, and add a few wires to the harness, then yes, just replace the light switch with the one that comes in the kit...

I will take pics later today or tomorrow of how it looks, it'll look better with the tow hooks on i'm sure, as the big plastic piece in there, the instructions say to heave it in the garbage, lol... I"m gonna do some cutting and see if i can make it work with the tow hooks and fog lights... I'll keep you all updated!

Funny seems if you had to wire it directly to the fuse panel the wire ought to be hot and as long as the switch worked seems like they ought to come on, sure you aint got something wired wrong? I'd double check everything with a voltage meter and see if you had power 1st.

Same thing happened to me. Got them off eBay at a great price. Easy install, and nada! Called the dealer and they want 90 bucks to "activate" them. Haven't had a chance to bring it in yet.
