What fog lights????

I bought a fog light kit for my 2000. The provision for the relay was there and the pigtails where there but it doesn't appear the fuse is. Could someone snap a digi pic of their fuse box next to the battery with the fog fuse pulled out?

I have the place for the fuse but there is only metal on one side and not the other. Am I screwed? I even has the fuse in the cab for the fogs. WTH!!!

HAHA!! I am a prime example of why you should ALWAYS read the destructions completely before beginning. I recently changed my cheap intermittent wipers to the "deluxe" version and thought the headlight switch would be the same. I threw it in first and never jacked with that part in the instructions. Well of course I missed the little part about the 3 pin wire harness that was taped onto the main harness. Works great!!

Where did you get your after market fog lamp kit? How much?

It is a factory fog lamp kit not aftermarket. Comes with everything you need to add factory fogs to your car. I think I paid $135 for the kit and got it from www.midwaypartsteam.com

Look for posts from Dan Tech in the group buy forum, he is the rep from Midway.

Thanks for the info... Would you go to the same location (Midway) for, say, a rear trunk spoiler?

You can get complete aftermarket fog kits from Pepboys, Autozone, or any other auto parts store. Just be sure to get 4" diameter (even though 5" would fit) because you need room for the mounting brackets. Here's a few pics of mine:

It might be worth noting that the on the factory kit it comes with the stock relay and replacement headlight switch and requires zero wiring. The factory pigtails are already there, just plug them in.

The aftermarket also comes with the relay and switch. Granted, you'll have to put the switch in yourself, BUT, you don't have to screw with the "rewire your fogs" mod.
