Adding OE fog lights

I have a 2025 Bronco Sport big bend with Black diamond offroad package.

It didnt come with fog lights and i would like to add the OE set. I can find the correct headlamp switch and the fog lights from the dealer and a set of brackets and screws.
Should the the wiring be there behind the bumper or is this a separate wiring harness? The dealer doesnt seem to have this answer.

I plan on other upgrades so would prefer not using the upfitter switches at this time.

Thanks

Cargo Management System Upgrade

First off, I LOVE my new 2022 Badlands.
The ONLY thing that I am having trouble with is the rear cargo management system (the trunk divider). On the Badlands we bought, the plastic divider came standard, and any time we go grocery shopping, or try to put anything on the top, it slides around like nobody’s business. Does anyone else have this problem?

I was going to look for a replacement with some rubber on it, or something of the sort, since I love the idea, but the material they made it…

Red “Charging System Service Soon” and loss of electrical after the battery recall

Not long after getting the Battery was recall done, I got an error “Charging System Service Soon” in the driver instrument panel, and some check engine light. The Issue persisted for a day to two, so I took it in back to the service center. Dealer was able to read the error codes, but not able to re-produce the issue and unable to find root cause. I got the vehicle back and no issue seen for several weeks at least.

Well, the “Charging System Service Soon” would pop-up once and awhile, but…

Physical Owner’s Manual Hardcopy?

Just taken delivery of our 2025 Badlands Sasquatch and was wondering if a full hardcopy owner’s manual should have been included in the vehicle? There is only a “Supplemental Owner’s Guide” which seems to be a subset of the online “Owner’s Manual”.  

1.25″ FordRangerLifts 65,000 mile Review + Pics

Back in June of ’21 I installed a FordRangerLIfts 1.25 lift on my Bronco with only 5,000 miles on it. Now 4 1/2 years and 65,000 miles later, I am still happy with it and have no complaints. I have driven my Bronco on mountain trails over the years and it has racked up a lot of miles on the highway too. On the highway with this lift, I have been running 235/65/17 Wildpeaks, when I hit the trails, I switch to 245/65/17 KO2s. This kit was an easy install and I have experienced zero…

Exhaust Hanger Stud Fell Out

I had the driver side stud and bolt fall out that holds the hanger for the muffler. Seems strange to me that both the nut and the stud would fall out, but oh well, it’s fixed for now with some wire. The treads where the stud go are a bit rusty, I don’t think it had been like this for long as it was quite noticeable once the muffler was hanging down and I could hear it hitting something on every bump in the road. Might wanna check yours out. I was thinking of just finding the correct…

Have Your Differential and Transmission Fluids Checked! Low Fluid Levels from Factory. Expensive Problems

I I have 2 Bronco Sports. Both 2021 year models. One is a FE and the other an OBX. FE has 70,000 miles, OBX has 45,000. Both had incorrect fluid levels in one or both of the differentials, and the OBX also had the incorrect fluid level in the transmission. Here is my account of this ordeal. The biggest problems were with my OBX. About two months ago, a slight noise was noticed coming from the rear of the car, especially when turning to the right. I wasn’t really sure what it was but…
