To the best of my knowledge it's like this.

All trucks have the same wiring harness.

Wires for factory fogs are present by the bumper and by the switch.

If the truck doesn't have fogs, therefore doesn't have the pull out switch, it should still have the wiring and connector for the fogs dangling behind the switch.

In theory, all you'd have to do is get the fog light equipped switch from the dealer and plug in all connectors,
plug your fogs into the connectors already by the bumper and voila!

It might be more than just the switch, but the whole switch panel.

upersleder I ordered the OEM foglight kit from the dealer. I told them I did not want a toggle switch and drill holes and all that stuff!! It came with a rocker swich!!! I ordered the factory headlight/foglight switch. I will be installing it soon will let you know how it goes.

I have a rocker switch mounted on a small plate at the bottom of the dash pannels under the steering collumn. it works great for fog lights and is much less expensive than the OEM switch. This setup, as hidden as it is, is not an OEM setup and does look somewhat different than everything else that is factory.

If you are looking for factory, i would suggest the different headlight switch. if you are looking for functionality and reasonably clean appearance at a smaller price, i would try to find an alternate location to mount a rocker or paddle switch.

thats my $0.02
