How many wires do I need to use on a factory fog light switch?
I'm about to install a pair of fog lights and would like to use a factory fog light switch.
The switch that came with the lights has 3 wires.

BTW, I'm looking for a factory switch to use since I don't have one yet.
Thanks for any help...

Here's the pin out of a factory switch

A illumination 12v+ (from parking lights)
B switch contact A
C blank
D switch contact B
E indicator 12v+
F ground

You can also fit it above the cargo light switch if you have a blank spot there...

Make sure you use a relay to control the fog lights! You don't want to have all that power goin thru the switch

I been meaning to ask you P1, for the indicator 12v+ did you just jump it from the hot side of the switch?

Do you know the wire color for these locations?
I bought a light kit with the relays and wiring harness. It came with a lighted switch, but only has a three wire switch.
I'm hoping to find a switch with the factory plug so I can time my wires in to it. I have two black spots available to use for the switch.
I plan on using the lower spot for the fog lamps and the upper spot for the switch for the ambient lighting (like what the Fords have)


Thanks for the help...
