What plug would plug in to this?

[Gatorized]

Installed!

Here's the list of parts you'll need to do this.
Aux switches: if you don't have them optioned for your JT. 82215190AD
Fog lights:
68336582ag Left
68336583ag Right
Connectors:
68137868AC left & right but color coded for the RR
(the plugs cost more than the fog lights)
No need to buy a rear bumper harness
18-20 AWG wires for leads. 25' minimum for running up to the aux pigtail.
Connectors for 18-20 AWG wires.
2 rolls of friction tape
Zip ties 50pk
Fir tree body zip ties 10pk
Shrink tubing.

Drop the spare tire and remove to gain best access.
I ran the wires along the right hand side of the truck along the wiring harness from the aux connections under the hood, zip ties about every 4"-6". I crossed over at the rear wiring harness connectors above the spare tire and terminated them at the same point as the factory bumper connector for easy removal of the bumper if needed. For the bumper, removing it is needed to gain access to everything. 4 nuts and 2 bolts, and it comes right off. Only 3 screws to remove and install the lights. I kept the wiring right along the existing harness and added in the fir tree body zip ties at multiple points between the lights and the existing harness.

Pre work will make your install quicker. Wrapping the lead wires and harness wires with friction tape will take the longest and a helper wouldn't hurt. Routing and zip tie the wires take the second longest, and the actual connections are fairly quick. A ground stud is right above the spare tire. The aux buttons are programmable, but not needed to be reprogrammed. I used #3 pink/orange wire. I'll get a better picture tonight when it's darker so you can see the lights better.

Overall I have about $250 into this. Not a bad mod, that looks factory. I was just hoping to tie into the factory controller. Once I can look at the actual JT wiring harness, I'll see if that's still a possibility.

The light p/n’s show as actual tail light assys.

Whoops, totally my bad! I have so many parts bookmarked, those are on order for me to replace my current non LED. Units. Here's the correct numbers

Evening shot.

Thank you.
Those are a definite nice upgrade.
How much were all the parts if you don’t mind me asking?

Lights were about $90, connectors about $100, and another $30 for tape, zip ties and body zip ties. I had ordered another bumper harness for $30 but it wasn't needed and that was another $30. So I put about $250 into it, but only $220 is what it should cost.

I did have to change the aux button settings. It was checked on the "remember last state" so they would turn on every time I started it up. New LED taillights on order, hopefully arriving this week. Also updated the front turn/marker lights to the white/amber flash back LED's. Debating whether to order an extra Launch Edition rim and TPS sensor to put the spare into the tire rotation, as I'm coming up on my second tire rotation in the next 500 miles.

No better way to ensure spare condition than to include it in the rotation.

Which pin in the connector on the back of the fog light is the positive one?

#1 pin, so the left one when looking at the back of the lights.

Thanks - working on wiring while awaiting light arrival.

Let me know if you need any help. I spent more time making the harness and running it up to the aux switches than actually installing them. There's supposedly two wires in the harness that allow it to be operated by the foglight switch, but until I can verify them through a JT wiring diagram, I did the aux route for now. The bumper wiring harness on my Sport S only had 2 wires vs 4 going to it. Maybe an Overland or Rubicon have them, but don't have either so can't compare.

couldn't you just tap into the front fog lights? When you turn the front fogs on, you also turn on the rears?

has anybody figured out if this same plug is used anywhere else on a JK, JL, JT? Hoping I can source one from the junkyard...... (yeah i know not many JTs in the junkyard....)

 

[steffen707]

and lastly, did I understand this correctly 68137868AC is the same connector for both sides?

What does wiring-2 Way mean?

You da man @Mightytalldude !! Super glad you got it figured out.

Two wire connector. When you get it, the leads won't be installed, so be sure to follow the pin diagram to assemble them correctly. I would love to have it controlled by the fog light controller, and hopefully when the JT wiring diagrams become available, I can verify what wires to use and swap it to that point then.
