Default Overhead fog light switch

Is there a way to make it go off with the key? I have my LED's powered from the factory fog lights but I'll be damned if I don't always forget to turn them off, even with the little orange light on.

I have a switch in the overhead console, by the sun roof, that used to operate the factory fog lights. I have removed them in lieu of a LED lightbar.

Could you rewire the switch in the overhead console to the LED light bar, and then just wire the fogs into the ignition ?

I am assuming this switch is aftermarket?


Either way as Mix mentioned, wire the fogs to an accessory 12v that turns off with the ignition. That is how all my relays are fed for their signal wire, accessory 12V.

You will need to track the wire down the left A pillar to see where it terminates. I'm thinking it goes all the way to the fuse block under the hood; but perhaps not, but on the fuse block on the driver floor, or driver dash. You will then need to relocate it to a fuse block that is active with the switch on.

Can you upload a pic of this factory fog light switch. I thought I was crazy so I went and looked at my overhead and there is no foglight switch. There's the 3 buttons for Home Link and the map lights. Am I missing something?

Yes, the "factory" switches do in fact look something like that, though I would be shocked if they were Mopar.

Lojac, they were installed in the limited edition trucks that had the upper light bar.
