I'm curious on what to do about adding fog lights to my 14 LT. I have already ordered the lights with bezel and also the OEM switch. I am debating now if I should 1) purchase the OEM wire harness (96950676) 2) Run them with the aftermarket harness included with lights or 3) Make my own wire harness? I have wires, looms, heat shrink, pins and light connectors should come in light kit.
1) With running the OEM wire harness will the fog lights be off always unless I push the button to turn them on? Once the OEM switch and harness is in do I need to run anything from the OEM switch to fuse panel? What I REALLY wish is that the headlights will be off and only have the fogs on for DRL.
2) I'm not to big on running the aftermarket switch cause I don't want to mount it anywhere in sight and look cheesy. Possibly splicing the Aftermarket switch to connect to fuse box?
3) If I made one it would basically just be connecting the lights and running P+ to fuse box and G- to chassis and install my OEM fog light switch?
I'm only asking because the cheapest OEM harness is $62 and I'm just curious what function (besides OEM look/feel) it has to justify the cost. If the wiring from the switch to fuse panel is already there it should be super easy to make my own from fuse box to the lights, right?
