so i got me some LED fog lights...more so driving/marker lights...but they were super cheap and look great! i want to know how you guys go about installing these to the stock fog light plugs behind the bumper...im going to the dealer today after work and ordering the fog light switch cause they didnt come with one...let me know if there is something else i should order while im there...i was wondering if they could hook me with the end pieces (on the stock ones) so that i can plug it nicely into the stock spots...
thanks

How hard is it to find the plugs for the foglights??? And I'm hoping you didn't get the LED's that I bought because they didn't last more than like 2 or 3 months.
Mine were 15 bucks from advance auto parts.

Your best bet is to use the expensive 4 wire oem switch but you could use any 3 wire toggle switch instead. I got a led rocker switch at Walmart for $5 that I mounted into the switch blank. Wiring it is a different matter. The 2 green wires tie together somehow in the oem switch and are connected to the dimmer circuit. If you just use the one that supplies +12v with the headlites on (as I did) the circuit is messed up. When I turn my dimmer down all the way, the fogs come on (even with headlites off) and blow a fuse. If I leave the dimmer switch on or close to bright, it works fine.
I would find an accessory or ignition switched +12v source nearby and use that on one side of the switch, the white wire from the oem fog harness (to oem relay) on the other side and either use the fog harness ground wire (blue?) or run your own. There is an existing ground point behind the DS kick panel that would work well. It takes very little current to close the relay so you shouldn't have to worry about overloading the +12v switched circuit you use.
I plan to rewire mine as desrcribed above, asap.

Those might look good mounted in the side bumper vents...
