Upgrading Your 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 Fog Lights autowebnews.org

Installing fog lights on a 2017 Ram 1500 is a straightforward DIY project. Start by parking on level ground and disconnecting the negative battery terminal. Locate the fog light housing in the lower front bumper. Depending on your Ram’s trim level, you may have existing fog lights to replace or blank covers to remove. If replacing existing units, reach behind the bumper and twist the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it. Unplug the old halogen bulb and plug in the new LED bulb or disconnect the entire housing. For complete assembly replacement, remove the screws or clips securing the factory housing, pull it out, and install the new LED assembly in reverse order. If your truck did not come with factory fog lights, you will need to purchase a wiring harness, relay, and dashboard switch. Tap into the low-beam headlight circuit for the trigger signal so the fog lights only operate when your headlights are on. Route the wiring harness along existing factory looms using zip ties, and mount the relay securely in the engine bay.
