    So I ordered this harness...
    HUIQIAODS H11 H9 880 881 Fog... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QKXW3CQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
    I'm not too confident in the switch that came with it. So I ordered a fog lights switch from CH4X4. Question is...is this plug and plug or do I have to splice wires? Any helpful advice is appreciated.

    I think you'll have to cut that button connector off and attach spade connectors in order to connect to your new button.

    It looks like it’s plug and play as is but hard to tell unless the ground / inline fuse, ground / back light is the same as ch4x4. No way to tell without knowing what each wire is

    the 4 pin connector looks the same used for the ch4x4 switch so could plug right in?

    One thing that might differ is the back light. There are two LED’s in the switch, one typically used to an add a fuse that turn on one led when your parking lights are activated, the other led when you push it on. Using this as is might not work the same way because I don’t see any source for a parking light activation. It might only turn on when you push it on.

    when you get the ch4x4 switch it shows which wire activates add a fuse for parking light back light so you could splice that wire to work for full functionality

    Maybe you should post what kind of button you got.

    Single push non momentary button switches are all the same from ch4x4 from what I’ve seen

    It does just plug and play but I'm not sure if the connections will be right.

    Correct, that’s what I can’t tell from the Amazon link.

    it might work as is though

    Anyone know which one is the wire I can tap an add a circuit/fuse? There’s 2 solid reds, a black, and a blue.

    So I tried hooking up these just to test before my actual install and the lights will not turn on. I'm getting power to the sockets. The switch lights up. The relay clicks but when I tested the relay socket. The upper left prong did not ohm out. Could it be the socket or a bad relay? The fogs are brand new oem LEDs from dealer.
