This may be a small thing but may avoid some confusion when using Aux switches later in your Braptor..

The Braptor uses Aux 1 for the Rigid off-road only Bumper Lights. Ford has swapped the 30 amp relay circuit from Aux 1 to Aux 3 to put those low draw lights in the Aux 1 position without sacrificing the 30 amp circuit needlessly.

Thank you for explaining, good info! Great advanced notice to this community.
 
Anyone know how I can use the Aux 1 wiring if I removed factory fogs. Aux 1 wire isnt with the rest of the upfitter wires in the engine bay

I’m wondering the same thing. I put in different pocket lights but just unplugged the Rigid lights meaning that wiring still goes somewhere just not to the other wires on firewall
 
After hours of research…. Looks like there is a pigtail available

The Rigid lights that come with the Raptor have a pigtail that goes to Aux 1 switch. The question is where does the pigtail from the pocket Rigid light go to get to Aux 1 if you want to use Aux 1 for something else?
 
I was hoping if I use this pigtail it would then plug into the Baja pocket lights I installed?
 
I need to revisit this thread

I ordered Baja designs fog pocket kit 44-8179-UP with the following:
1. squadron pro spot
2. S2 Pro driving/combo
3. S2 SAE amber

There are only five upfitter wires on the firewall harness

I understand AUX 1 was used for the second set of off-road lights in the fog pocket 10A (violet/green)

The dash switch was used for the first set of OEM lights, see pic

The pigtail wiring from @4x4TruckLEDs.com it’s supposed to allow use of the dashboard fog switch from my understanding which would still leave AUX 1 open for use.

Other than the plug at the bumper, where else can I access that wire display into using Baja designs wire splice adapters?
 
You need the dual fog harness and then the fog relocation harness from SVP. That will get both on the same switch by the headlight switch and then free up AUX 1.
 
I was trying to do the same thing with the SVP relo harness for my KC light trio in the fog pockets, but finally gave up and went back to the KC provided wiring. I couldn't get both settings on the lights to work, blew a couple fuses because I had not realized the Raptors swapped Aux switches 1 & 3.... this is a great head's up article, but I wish i had found it before i spent all night in the front bumper, lol ;)

Welcome to the forum! 🍻 As you now are well aware of, there is a wealth of Bronco Raptor specific info in this forum contributed to by Bronco Raptor enthusiasts from multiple backgrounds.
 
Revisiting this as I installed the FP Rigid driving lights in place of the factory Aux1 activated fogs yesterday. I ordered the SVP harnesses mentioned above but it seems you only need the SVP dual fog harnesses to wire both to one switch, either the dash light switch or the Aux1, whichever one you want.

I'm not sure you really need the fog relocation harness? Thinking it would plug into the unused plug down by the fog lights and allow a no-cut interface elsewhere?

So if you were to wire both the "fog" lights in the bumper cutout to the dash light button, you can use Aux1 for whatever you want. I'm thinking front bumper-mounted light bar at this point but not sure if that's safe or not. Is Aux1 as it sits, relay activated? Or is it simply fused?

I ended up just keeping the fogs on the dash light button and have the driving lights in the bumper on Aux 1 just like it came from the factory. Aux 2 are the old fogs from the front bumper repurposed to be used as additional backup lights. Aux 3 is the roof-mounted light bar. Aux 5 are a pair of ditch lights on either pillar and Aux 6 is the backlight for those same ditch lights. None are run off of relays but all fall under the max amp rating for each switch. They're wired straight to the upfitter toggle switch wires.
 
I have some info as a new member here. I had ordered a 3 light setup from 4x4truckLEDS.com for the 23 Wildtrak I used to have but never got installed so I’m going to use them on the BRaptor. The first thing is the AUX1 switch wire is part of the vehicle harness all the way down to the bumper. You can get pigtails from 4x4 to adapt one light to the Fog switch, one to adapt to the second light for the AUX1 switch at the bumper and a third to run back up to a second AUX switch. This will allow you to run a three light BD or Diode Dynamics setup.

I then ordered a couple of pigtails from SPV to adapt the factory Rigid lights into another BRaptor bumper I bought (new takeoff) to put on the wife’s Heritage LE to utilize those lights when I swap out her Capable bumper. One pigtail goes to the factory fog light switch the other feed back up to the AUX switch wires to connect the second set of lights like on the BRaptor.

Nothing is installed yet as harnesses are on order and I am waiting on a free weekend to make the light and bumper swaps (as well as install the Ford Winch kit on the BRaptor). I have the part number for all the harnesses if anyone else is interested.

Also forgot to add, SPV also had two harnesses for adding rear bumper work lights. Again I already had an Expedition One rear bumper I hadn't installed yet with DD lights in the bumper. SOV has a harness that runs front to back for the AUX switch connection and full length ground to the battery as well as a taillight plug in harness. This will allow you to trigger the lights with an AUX switch as well as soon as you put it in reverse for extra light. Going to be an all weekend grind but hopefully in a couple of weeks I’ll get it all done in one shot.
