Default Fog light wiring questions.

Newly purchased 2001 Dodge 1500 Sport.
​​​​​​The truck has fog lights in the bumper. The light switch pulls out to turn the fog lights on and the indicator light comes on but the lights don't.

I crawled under and found that there are no bulbs in the housings, and there is no wiring, plugs, or anything else present. Apparently a previous owner removed the wiring.

I would like to get the fog lights working again. If I put in new wires and plugs, where would I have to connect the wires so that the lights will work with the stock switch?

There should be a connector somewhere toward the center of the radiator support for just such a purpose. Assuming that it is still there..... Should be relay in the power distribution center under the hood for 'em as well. Welcome to DF!

I ended up purchasing the Mopar upgrade kit to add fog lights to my truck, which came with wiring, relay, fog lights, etc. I don't believe the kit is available any longer from the dealer. I tried to find the factory fog light wiring under my dash to connect the fog lights up, but could never find it. I did find the fog light wiring under the radiator as HeyYou mentioned. When I install the new dash top in my truck later this year, I'll look for those wires again.
