    I think @Barcared is correct. Plug for fogs?

    I have the base SR.
    Doesn’t have a back seat, didn’t have intermittent wipers.
    But that’s what I think too, fog lights

    Is it really that easy to add fog lights in the SR?

    I’m not thinking I have the convenience package but I might need to read the thread on fog lights

    Do you have cruise control and a key with the lock/unlock buttons? If so you likely have the convenience package.

    I have the buttons for cruise control but have never used it in 800 miles.
    Don’t have keyless entry

    Someone separately just posted, it would tell you:

    But yes, that is where fogs would plug in. As the other thread says, there’s a good bit of work to get them wired in otherwise, whether or not you have the convenience package.
