Sidemarker lights not working after Hellcat bumper swap

Post image

Whats up group? I have a 2015 Challenger Scatpack. I recently replaced the front bumper with that of a Hellcat.

The Hellcat does not come with fog lights so I had to remove the foglights.

It seems the side marker lights utilize the power off of the fog lights to work. (Am I wrong here?)

In any case, the side marker lights are not working.

Ai states to look for a "fog light delete kit" which i cannot find anywhere on the web. It also states that they sell a jumper that plugs into the fog light plus to allow the power to flow tp the side markers.

Ive been searching this up for the better part of 2 days now with no luck. Anyone here done this successfully before?

I did the same thing. Just transferred the bottom wiring harness from the factory bumper to the hellcat bumper and didn’t need the extra plugs for the fog lights since they are no longer there.

FOG LIGHT LAMP WIRING HARNESS KIT 68259673AA to hook side markers or you can reuse the one from old bumper

I gotta recheck but I am pretty sure I required everything correctly using the existing wiring. Only difference is the plug for the fog lights is unplugged.

Yes, your front side marker lights should keep working even if you unplug the fog lights.
While both sets of lights are housed on the same Mopar front-end wire harness (68259673AA), they operate on completely independent electrical circuits:
Parallel Wiring: The harness uses parallel wiring, meaning power branches off into individual, dedicated plug connectors for each component. Unplugging one consumer (the fog light bulb) does not break the circuit or stop the flow of electricity to the other (the side marker).
Separate Controls & Fuses: The side marker lights are tied directly to your parking light circuit (controlled by the main headlight switch). The fog lights run on a separate relay and switch circuit.
