Not sure if this is what your looking for but

http://carr.com/store/carrlightwings.asp

i have this, it works great as long as you have 3/8 inch bolts. If you have 1/2 inch and you drill bigger holes it voids the warranty but i did anyway, there is a site that is on the inet you might be able to google but they sell for 80 bucks.

They are universal and have to have 3 new holes drilled but i like the setup, i put it high enough so i could run the wires under the grill, the top of the wing is perfectly level with the top ot the bumper,

Ill get you pics if you need them

Here is a fog lamp wiring I got on my trucks now and works awesome. I got 2 100W aircraft landing lights for low beams and 2 for high beams and follow the headlight mode.

Click on thumbnails.


The last thumbnail of the connections is on my 2002 Dodge Cummins but the same thing applies for the earlier years...

On my fogs, I did wire them up separately. Mine has a rocker switch in the lower part of the dash under the gear selector. It wasn't hard, run your red, white, and blue wires, and hook them up to the right places and your good to go.
I do recommend that you place an inline fuse from your battery to the power on your fogs.
You can pick up a small fuse kit at your local parts store, with the terminals already attached to do what you need to do.

Ok, So you are trying to wire your fogs up using the factory relay? IE; The one in the fuse box? Or are you using a relay that you bought?

If your going by the factory wiring, you have to play with the different sets of wires found behind the bumper.

Let me know if your having trouble figuring out how to hook up the relay.
