your going to have to pull the left side trim piece with the dimmer switch and look for a plug that would aparently plug into the fog button. some balts have it some doesnt.
mine doesnt have it. i have the ss bumper and lip on the way. so im just going to buy the fog light kit from buy hids. the fogs come on automatically with the parking lights and all that.
you CAN add a switch to that if you want. but not the OEM one
a member named murdy bought the whole huge harness which aparently has that plug you neeed for the oem button. your going to have to find that harness i think its on ebay idk if it still is. but those are your options. buy hids sells the plug and play fog kit.
im going to just buy that and call it a day. the ambers with fogs is how oem ss's come.
you just wouldnt be able to drive with just the ambers on and no fogs unless you tap a generic on off toggle to the kit.

hope this helps man

yes. put the parking lights (ambers on) the fogs will be on. you wouldnt be able to run just the parking (ambers) with no fogs, unless you wired in a switch.
fogs wil be on automatically at night which is good.

lol be nice, maybe he just doesnt do a whole lotta electrical work, and I'm sure you could do it the wrong way, no fuses or anything, just plug them in, hack job wire through the grommet to toggle switch and ground... but he wants to do it properly

I wired my to my parking lights so they are on automaticly at night and when I hit he fog lamp switch during the day since I got low beam drl..I used a fuse though so if something goes wrong the fuse burns and no current will go to my fogs but keep my parkings and wiring safe
