Default Factory Fog lights??

I've noticed that there's Factory fog like plugs on my truck but my truck doesn't have Factory fog lights down in the lower Valance of the bumper how can I make you of this wiring harness because I recently bought a factory bumper that has the fog lights in the valance.

On my Ranger, all I did was add the fog light switch and fog lights - and voila. I think the same thing goes with the F150, except somtimes you also need to put a relay in the fuse box.

Thats pretty cool! So I assume if there is Factory fog light plugs the factory fog light plug for the switch must be intact in the dash somewhere. What the switch look like?

No. It just turns. And i noticed the foglights fuse is missing its connection, you cant just plug in a fuse, it looks like it needs to be wired up

Mine had the wires but no lights. I bought a set of Depo clears, installed them with nice bulbs, installed the switch, and it worked right off. The relay was there already from Ford, along with the wiring. It was just add and go.

Yes of course and the fog lights symbol illuminates

It was the switch. I returned it for another one now everything works as it should. Yay! Now i can delete these aftermarket switches
