Fog light question.

[Mr99Ranger]

I wouldn't rely on them. More backyard mechanics around here than real ones.

Yeah, quite true. Never really did trust these reports as much as my gut, but when I bought the truck, It was great mechanically(still is) and I had a good feeling about it. And Since I already liked it anyways it was just kind of minor re-assurance that this was a good truck to read these reports. Also wanted to know if there were any leans on the truck for previous owners, and for this these services are quite reliable. I think I'll go wire huntin' tomorrow n' see bout them foglights. Cheers from West Virginia, Jeremy..

Yes, there is. If I can find the wires I will have a perfrct setup for some aftermarket fog lights mounted on a brushguard.

That would be good. Didn't know that type of information was available.

Yep. Definitely can save a lot of future hassle.

why not remove the bezel and see if anything is even hooked up to the fog light. only two screws above the heat control holds it on. pops off rather easy.

he said the button lights up to indicate on just fine, so the switch must be hooked up. I think that rules out changing the bezel

If you have the switch and it lights up and there are fuses and relays in place, I would assume you are wired all the way to behind the bumper. Previous owner prob switched valances/bumpers and just unplugged the lights

 

[Mr99Ranger]

I know what you're saying, but after two weks of searching and looking at my 2000 which has foglights in tact, I cannot find the damn wires!! Oh well, maybe tomorrow I'll look some more.

if you can't find any wires i would pull out the bezel and see which wires exactly are hooked into it. Make sure it has the factory wiring harness plugged in instead of a home made pigtail that someone wired up.

I have the same issue in my 93, no fog lights on the truck. Just the one's i have installed. But my question is how do i hook it up to the switch in the truck instead, of the one that came with them?

 

[Mr99Ranger]

Wheres the switch on a 93?

 

[Phillips.Mike10]

It is underneath of my light knob on the lower side panel running down towards the bottom. Came off when i was changing my dash lights.

Old thread but my 99 didnt come with fog lights either, i believe i saw the hookups dangling down there and i strung em up. I do know that it was in a slight front end crash, the grill was broken and the hood dented but It never came with fog lights, it did come with a fog light valance which i promptly broke off on the trails climbing a log.. I used the factory fog light switch as the switch for my running lights actually. Wired those up just the other day.

 

[Phillips.Mike10]

yeah my front bumper is all messed up i did not see anything hanging down but i do have a switch in the truck. How do i hook up to that switch?

I just hooked the power wire for my running lights up to the power wire coming off the fog light switch, I took the 2 screws off that hold the whole console/head unit in and poked around the wires coming off the fog light switch with my multimeter to find that wire.. In my 99 i believe it was a tan wire with an orange stripe....
