    Question...I have noticed pre-installed wiring harnesses for what I'm assuming is for my fog lights under the front bumper on the left and right side. Can I purchase fog lights and connect them to those wiring harnesses and be done with it? Or do I have to do any other steps in order for them to work? The dash on the inside has 3 blank spots for other things to be wired up. I pulled all 3 of them and they have wire connections in the back of them. I'm assuming I can purchase the fog light switch also and just plug it into one of those 3 spots. Am I correct or no?

    So looks like you just need the lights, relay, and switch.

    Check the headlights stalk on the steering column, you may already have the switch there.

    2nd gens don't have the fog light switch on the stalk like 3rd gens do.
    All 2nd gens have it in the dash.

    The switch doesn't carry the load for the lights, that's the relay's job. The switch just turns the relay on.

    So the blue wire in the column just determines if the high beams are on/off?
