Default looking to install fog lights on 2wd

My dad has a 2001 F150 Lariat 2WD and after checking out my new truck that i bought..A 2000 F150 Lariat 4WD...He really likes the fog lights and stuff..So i'm having to buy a new front bumper and found one that comes with the bottom valance with fogs....I got to looking at his truck and it doesnt have the switch inside for fogs and it doesn't have the wiring to add the fogs. Can anyone tell me what is involved in adding these fog lights to my dads truck. Thanks

Truck should be wired for fogs. They're on the radiator brace under the headlight.
You can get a light switch with fogs at a wrecking yard.

Not sure about XL. I'll look on the work truck tomorrow and let you know.

It would be easy to wire it up yourself with your own switch. That way you can use brights and fogs.

ok Thanks for the info...I wasn't sure if they put the same wiring harness on every truck or not..kind of thought they would but when i looked on the header panel i didn't see any connectors or anything for adding fogs. so thats why I asked. I'll look more into it when it warms up alittle.

Get under the truck and look up. Mine were tucked up pretty high up, but not difficult to get to. A clip holds them in place.
