Can anybody tell more about how they did the wiring for these? Would it be possible to snip my existing fog lamp wires, connect them to the pos/neg of a LED bar and activate it from the steering column? Any benefits to a standalone switch? Would love to know more

I'd like to keep my fogs and still share the column stalk switch with a scoop array. There wouldn't be amp issues with low-draw LEDs right? I'm so lazy - there is really no excuse, but I will be following someone's lead here...I am an electrical imbecile.

I did make a trade for a friend's Scarab under-hood LED strip kit with the hood open-on swithch. Could be goofy or might be helpful at night. That I can plug in...

I'm personally gonna be losing the fog lights when I add my steel bumper so it just seemed convenient. Fwiw according to the website my bar will operate within 10v-30v DC (it's made for cars, not really worried about it not working with the power supply. Went with Raxiom)

Good point. I hope to come across a real bumper some day too. Hope you post what you figure out with the Raxiom bar - good luck!

Good job! Did you leave the mesh on? How are they on/off'd?

Yep, left the mesh in place, looks very sleek. Controlled by a toggle switch in the cab, I was gonna try and wire it to the fog lights, but I forgot I'm getting a satoshi grille from SRQ very shortly and would like to tap the raptor lights to those wires. Will post more pics later, I was too damn cold to be out there any longer lol

Very simple L shape brackets to mount the bar, tucked under the insulation and secured with the scoop's studs and bolts. Works great as the intended fog light replacement, shines about as bright as a 3rd head light but throws light slightly farther and wider. Not horribly bright that it'll blind oncoming traffic, but not useless either.
It would suck ASS as a small spot/flood bar, so thankfully I'm not looking for that. But as auxiliary lighting it should work decently. If I ever need a stronger bar, swapping it out and wiring it up should be a breeze compared to the initial fitment/fab work.
