Fog light install kit?

[mjonis]

So looks like the 2017 isn't getting fog lights either.

 

I *think* the Chinese version has fog lights? But anyone know if there's a "kit" you can buy aftermarket for fog lights? And if so, how hideous to install?

Thanks! Looks a tad more involved than what I'm used to, so if I choose the Edge, will have to find some company to install for me. Why Ford doesn't have an "american" kit for the fogs (or fogs at all) is beyond me. but then again why Kia doesn't have DRL is beyond me (if you get the Canadian Sorento it has it because Canada apparently requires all vehicles to have DRL by law).

Something like the Kia DRL thing sounds like a simple software parameter that is shut off in the US. If you search DRL software turn on, I'm sure that could be enabled.

 

Don't know why car makers ship vehicles that have this capability with the feature disabled, but they do.

 

Chances are if something like that , that is standard elsewhere, is able to be turned on here.

Yeah, but not sure if the Canadian Kia DRL is actually the same light assembly, or if there's an additional row of lights. I will say it made a big difference for me. I'm used to my Chevy DRL "auto" lights, so I can pull into the parking garage or my own garage and actually be able to see something while the vehicle takes its sweet ass time switching to full headlights. On the Kia you get no lighting for about 30-45 seconds while it detects a low-light condition and turns on the headlights.
