Ebay, 50 bucks, it's where I got mine, OEM replacements, fit great. Mine has fog lights already, seriously, took me 15 minutes to remove/install new lights, plug and play.
GO there and search your truck and you will find allot, some come with wiring kits and switches also. Here is just one of many examples you can find on ebay. These are 65 bucks and free shipping, and if your out of CA no sales tax most likely too

The latest poster is trying to figure out his wiring, not simply replace or add fogs lites.

On the connector:

Pin 1: Brown with white trace.
Pin 2: Black with orange trace.
Pin 3: Black with orange trace. (2 and 3 are both grounds.)
Pin 4: Empty
Pin 5: Orange.
Pin 6: Light blue.

Looking at the face of the connector...... there is an 'ear' on it, with that on the right, facing up, pin 1 is the top left, 3 is top right, 4 is bottom left, 6 is bottom right.

Well, this is the post I read? He is NOT looking for a stock fog light kit?
I must be going crazy.

Well first of all, you were responding to the OP that started this thread in 2009. Second, things do get confusing when someone posts a question in an old thread, but I'll give props to the newest poster for doing a search, and not starting a new thread like most people would.

No problem bud. I have a bad habit of not reading the whole thread too. But, you did after all give some good info for the next person that searches and finds this thread. So it's all good.

Thanks HeyYou.

I followed the wires back and found an alarm w a blown fuse.
Now I know why the wire colors didn't match.
I'm afraid to touch that mess, so I'll just wire them up with manual switch.

Regards,
-Brent

Wire them into your park light circuit using a relay. I did this on my 98 that had no wiring for the factory fogs.

Thanks for all your help.
I found a switch in my parts that fit the hole perfectly and snapped in place.
I now have fogs lights on demand.
I'll try to attach the image.
