Fog Lights

I have a 2001 GXE and it does not have fog lights on it right now. I am going to put them on, I would like to know if the harness is in place for the lights already and what wire I should tap into. I have seen some things about rewiring the foglights. However, i am not sure if there is going to be a harness already there for me to just plug the lights into. also, I need to know if there is a switch inside the car or if I could just put it inline with the headlights, or would this be too much of a drain on the power to the headlights. I know this is alot of questions but if any of them can be answered it would be helpful.

Thank you very much in advance.

I bought my g/f some fog lights for her 2k GXE from Courtesy Nissan, and it took about an hour, tops, to install them. When you get up inside the car, you will see plugs that are taped up... you simply cut the tape, bring down the plugs, and connect to the newly installed fog lights...

the only major change is you have to take apart the steering column to put in a new turn signal arm with fog light control.
