Default Led fogs

Okay so I bought some LED fog lights for my ranger. I removed my stock fog lights a while ago and now Im wanting to connect these aftermarket fog lights to my stock wiring. I want to have a relay and cut the stock connector plug off and connect wire to wire but question is, do I need two wiring harnesses? I dont know if I need one wiring harness for EACH fog light to connect to the stock wiring or am I able to just buy one harness with one relay

You're over thinking it. If you already had factory fog lights all you need to do is cut off the old connecters and splice on the new ones to fit the new lights. You dont need to modify anything else. There is already a fuse and relay on the factory harness that will work fine so there is no need to add anything or buy new harnesses.

Unless your trying to do something vastly different that I'm just not understanding?

That’s what i thought too! But everywhere online says that if it’s not a stock fog light that pulls the same watts, that you should add a relay so I figured I probably have too. But yeah I WANT to do what you said

Led lights draw fewer watts than holgen. Your stock wiring is up to par unless your over like 100 watt per led. But those sizes usually 55 or 65 watt max... fine on your halogen circuiit. You have 63 watt, way below factory lights. No worries your harnesses is more than enough.
