    Installing led fogs with caliraised switch using oem harness and can't seem to figure it out. Installed light bar and aux pods with included harness with caliraised switches - works fine. Searching and searching and can't seem to find an answer. I find info that the fogs are ran off of a relay that send 0v, but is there a wiring fix to make it work? Or do I just have to suck it up and install another harness?

    The OEM switch provides a ground for the relay. Aftermarket switches supply +12v to the relay. They’re different internally and can’t be interchanged.

    So basically you're saying.. only option is to use oem switch, oem harness or run new harness altogether? Thanks for the quick reply.

    Yep, OEM switch with OEM harness. Aftermarket switch with aftermarket harness.
