Lightbulb FYI For ALL....

Another fact I would like to clear up....

We did not remove the F-Sport bumper to examine the main headlamp wiring harness on each side...

But again from what we learned, we did not find / locate / or see any oem fog lamp connectors.
We DID see unused connectors behind the blanks, on the model we worked on.. The connectors belong to the Park Assist wiring.
The F-Sport we worked on did not have PA or PA sensors. But the wiring seems to be there ready for it..

ALSO... If any member with the regular sedan bumper, is brave enough to do a FULL Front F-Sport bumper conversion...
You will not need any additional special wiring or stalk..

All you would need are the JDM Fog Housings & JDM covers...
And of course what ever else is involved for the front bumper parts, brackets, grills, etc. etc.

That's great info to know, thanks. Would love to know how a PA retrofit would work out.

I'd also like to know if Park Assist can be retrofitted. What about the auto tilt mirrors? What do you guys think of that?

Man, I need to move to SoCal... Or better yet when are you guys doing the fog light install tour to MN!? If I could get this installed for reasonable price I would definitely purchase it but need to check with my dealer. Based on little experience I've had with them so far they'll want a lot to install.

Also curious why JDE OEM part for wire harness that go along with these was not available.

Is about 1.5-2 hours labor.

It shouldn't cost too much.

What was the issue and how was it resolved?

Maybe others will have the same problem.

It wasn't an issue. I misunderstood something. The icon for DRL off is different on the stalk but it works perfectly.
