24+ Factory Replacement Fog Kits

[SpaceWhiteF150]

I installed the Axis Mounts and BD Amber fog lights a week or so ago.
One issue that I’m having since then that is not directly connected to the new lights but to the work involved in installing them (I think) is that on rougher roads or at speed (I-25 in Northern CO or washboard back roads west of Cheyenne, WY chasing U.P.’s Big Boy steam locomotive #4014) is I am getting warnings that the blind spot and cross traffic warnings are inoperative. I suspect that I might of loosen a connector in the parking sensor circuit. Once the road smooths out, the warnings will eventually clear, so it looks like a loose connector somewhere.

Hmm, that should be the connector on the top side of the passenger side frame rail?

I would remove the connections and apply a tiny bit of dielectric grease and see if the problem goes away.

I see the harness is no longer available. Any reason why? It's not even on the site anymore. I already have them but I was doing the install this weekend and wanted to see if there was any instructions on the backlight wiring and how they suggested wiring that up. Wonder if I could use the same harness from f150leds I have for my vent lights. Or another way?

Some have powered the backlight off the f150 harness, I still sale both the pods and the harness.

The harness is still available

So I wired up the main power, its working correctly but I have a really weird issue. When the fog lights are on, the FM radio becomes almost all static. When I shut them off, no static, turn them on, immediately static. Is this something you've experienced of heard of before?

Which brand and model lights are you using? I've had this problem with Baja Designs lights in the past. Radio operators call this "spurious emissions" and the Baja Designs circuit boards were noisy as hell on my 2-meter radio for trail comms.

I have had hit or miss luck using these, but you might order a set of ferrite RF chokes like these and snap them around the SS3 power leads.

Thank you! I will give these a try, for $10 it's worth a shot

No sir, have never heard this. Are you using the factory fog light wire to power an SS3?

Yes, I am using the Hammerbuilt wiring harness. Should I not be?

Are you sure your using an SS3 and not an SSC2? I haven’t heard of anybody having static issues with pod lights.

Do you have factory headlights?

Whoops, you are correct, they are SSC2. With that exact harness, yes. I had SS3 on the brain, I was just looking at adding those.

You should be good with that harness, I haven’t seen any issues.

Do you have any other accessories on the truck?

Hmmm that’s interesting

I just ordered a pair of SSC2 Max SAE for my truck along with some of @SpaceWhite2025 's fog light brackets. Here in a few days, I should be able to comment on whether I have the same radio interference.
