Factory Fog lights

Post by Stevespatrol »

I’m after some info on what the different colour wires are on the factory fog lights on a 2015RT.
Any info would be great thanks.

Not 100% sure but from looking at other threads and wiring diagrams, the following could be possible.

Red/Blue = +ve
Yellow    = Low Beam
Brown    = -ve
White      = High Beam

The wiring diagram referred to was from a Haynes manual for my 2012 Camhead. This confirmed the wire colour code which is probably the same across most models.
Red/Blue is usually +ve and Brown -ve. The White and Yellow wires are generally used for High and Low Beam. This theory is supported from posts and photos within other threads.

Ok. So if I just want to power the lights from Hex Ezican I really only need to tap into the + & - wires then. Interesting that they have a high and low wires too.
Thanks for that Dave

Not 100% sure but perhaps the factory fog lights switch intensity between low and high beam.
