So after 8 months of ownership, I finally purchased the mopar fog lights as my patriot did not come with them. Installation will be over $200.00 for roughly 1-1/2 hours of labor. My question is if I should install them and save a few bucks or have them install the lights. I am aware that they would have to flash the computer but not shure how much that would cost. Also, If I install the new wand will the computer not recognize other commands on the new wand such as blinkers or just the fog lights? I don't want to have do drive to the dealership without blinkers. Thanks for any help.

So did you install them then or did you not end up ever purchasing them?

As I stated in my first post, I already purchased the mopar fog lights. They fit in the holes. What I needed to know is once I install them myself will all normal functions besides the fog light work? I will have to drive to the dealership and have them flash the computer to recognize the fogs and don't want to run into a situation where my blinker doesn't work or something.

I hear ya, can't stand looking at those black holes! I should have just paid to get them installed when I bought the vehicle which would have been cheaper.

Well, I installed the new foglights today and they look pretty good. Took me 5 hours which never should have taken that long but had some issues. First off, the cheap screws suck and stripped. Had to make a trip to Menards for some new torx screwdrivers. Also had an issue with the adapter instructions as it was backwards from what was actually the case. I had to improvise and hopefully those wires are in the right slots. Have to make an appointment to get the computer flashed to activate the lights and hopefully they work.
