Squid, thanks for checking for those wiring documents. I really appreciate the help. Maybe it would be in something that goes with the steering column lighting control. For factory lights and control, you have to replace the turn signal stalk with one that has fog light control.

One person on another forum had inquired about factory fog lights and asked them about putting in a rocker switch. Apparently one of the blanks is already wired for a fog light rocker switch. We just have to pull out the blank and wires are attached to the back. That would be really nice if that were the case. Then we could just put in the rocker switch, a factory relay, and splice the factory wiring where the fog lights are and be done. I may pull part of the dash off and have a look before I try anything.

Also, when I was putting the wheel wells back together, I thought of a couple of things. In my write up, I said we needed to remove the 2 black screws and the mini front mud guard. Turns out that is not needed since those screws are just to attach the mud guard and do not connect it to the metal body of the truck.

Another thing is the factory mount for the fog lights. It could possibly be bent over so that the fog light mounts directly to it. It's a thin metal and will move with a little muscle. I didn't find that out until I was done and aiming the lights. You might have to watch out for chipping paint if you try it that way since it needs to be bent over a pretty good distance. You could use a spray primer to paint over it in case it chips or cracks. Just a thought if someone else is trying this themselves. But try that at your own risk.
