Nope. 98 and up, the switch is part of the headlight switch. 97 and older, it's a separate switch in the dash, by the O/D off switch. (which is on the gear shift on the 98 and up trucks, I think.)

Hey TSU, I think the switches only fit 94-97. But thank you for the gracious offer. I live about 150 miles from the next junkyard and that would have been awesome.

Short of the bone yard or the princely sum that they want on ebay, all that you need to do is switch the brown w/yellow stripe wire to ground to turn the fogs on and off. Is your fog indicator still working?

In my 1998 the fog light switch looks like this:

I think in 99 they went to the kind that had it integrated in the headlight switch. Like I said, I'm almost 100% certain that there is another switch like this out in the yard. I can go at lunch today and get it if you think it will work.

So many little changes over a short period of time. Hard to keep up.

Yes my indicator light works. But I don't understand. Is this to bypass the switch and have them come on with the headlights?

Huh, that looks just like mine in the '97, just different location. maybe a '98 will work.

The brown w/yellow to ground (or to brown w/orange on the switch) is so you have control of when you want them on or off. You could probably even squeeze a mini toggle switch into that panel somewhere for fog control.

Not a problem, I'm heading out to the yard in about an hour and a half. If it's there and I get it, I'll let you know. I can send it to you and if it works, great. Just pay me back the shipping cost. If it doesn't work, don't worry about the shipping and you can just chunk it or keep it for parts.
