From what other .org members told me, if your GXE has power seats, your fog light wires should already be there taped up to the support under the bumper. If it is there, you just need to cut out the hole in the bumper, replace the signal stalk with the one with the fog light and the relay/fuse and that should be it. Unfurtunately, my GXE has no power seats which I don't have the wiring.

You would need to do some wire splicing which in turn will mean that you don't necessary need the stalk anymore. You can splice so that it either comes on with your parking lamps or the main headlight.

Chassis harness has the foglight wiring on all the cars I've seen.....Just in case a customer wanted them installed by the dealer! You need to remove you wheel well splash shields and the harness should be setting on the frame rails.....If you find yourself having to make a harness you'll only need to run 1 wire to each lamp assy from a relay( 12-14 gauge wiring) and a short ground wire to the frame.....

Hmm, interesting... I couldn't find mine but if you could, can you post a pic of the location and the connector so that I can double check my car again. After someone on the org told me that info and I couldn't find mine, I told myself that I couldn't get fogs.

Isn't that where the windshield fluid bottle is? I never seen any other wires there. I need a pic of the actual harness so I know what I am looking for if possible.

Washer fluid bottle is closer to the wheel where the fender meets the bumper.
