Lights, Camera...

I hooked up a back up camera to my 2012 F-350 XLT last year. Even though the camera is wireless, I powered it with one of the up-fitter switches so I can turn it on whenever I want. I figured I could check on the trailer hitch from time to time while going down the road, and I didn't have to cut into the harness back there. But I have to admit that the real reason I did that was the fact that those switches were there and I was itching to use them for something.
I was also wondering if anybody out there has any experience with any aftermarket fog lights, what's good, what I should stay away from, which ones will fit where the factory light would have been, that kind of thing. For some reason, the dealer got it with a few options like power seats and pedals, heated mirrors, privacy glass and some other things, but didn't bother with fog lights or running boards. And that's quite a step up, that thing sets right up there. Anyway, Just wondered about any feed back on what brand would be a good, effective set of fog lights. (I'd like to use another one of those switches too).

I recommend an LED bar that mounts on your bumper or LED pods that'll mount in the stock fog light areas.

I just mounted a 52" on my roof (not for driving unless on back roads or no other traffic around). Must say after seeing results of the bar, a small 20"-32" bar would be way more than sufficient for a fog light.

Thanks TSW902. Any suggestions where I might find the LED's that will fit in the factory spots? Sounds like you might have come across them somewhere.

There's several out there. Here's one from rough country: click here

Or you can jump on eBay and search for 2012 f350 led fog lights.

If you wanted to do the route of a LED bar, I've seen several guys remove the front license plate and mount bars between the tow hooks.
