Fog lamps on XL

Can someone tell me if you can get factory fog lamps on a 2018 F-350 XL super duty? If not is aftermarket an option?

You have to step up the the XLT for factory fog lights.
Adding fog lights to an XL would require a different bumper, cutting or a nonstandard mounting location.

Fog lights XL

I went with a Ranch Hand Bumper and installed Putco lights. Wired up to the upfitter.

Ranch Hand makes everything from bush guards to full bumpers. I have a F450, you probably want something a little lighter.

I bought an XLT that did not come with fogs, all of the wiring is there except for the bumper harness. You can change the switch, add the small harness and 2 changes in Forscan and have factory operation. Parts are very reasonable and having the factory operation for me was a huge plus.

Take off bumpers are everywhere and not too pricey. I wired to an upfitter switch so I can run them with the high beams.

So did you replace the bumper or did you put your lights next to the tow hooks? If next to tow hooks, what did you use to mount them?

I’m a full time dad to my one year old now. Swapping bumpers sounds too ambitious right now. That’s why I was interested in mounting lights in the center opening just like the fogs on my 04!

I did swap the bumpers and did double Rigids, the street legals to the factory Fog switch and the crazy brights to an Upfitter. Bumper swap is pretty easy with 2 people
