I'll pull the gauge cluster and temperature controls out on my '96 Ram (since my bezel is off as of now) and have a good look to see if I can find the connector & wiring for the fog lights. I'll try to do so sometime Sunday or Monday. If I find it, I'll report back with photos. I installed the fog lights behind the bumper some time ago, but never finalized the wiring, as I was hoping to find the factory wiring already there. I also have the OEM fog light switch, so I just need to find that connector (if it's there) and add the fog light relay.

I doubt it. The factory fog light relays should be plugged into the PDC under the hood of the truck to enable the fog light harness. May also need a fuse as well.

Look in your owners manual it will show you where the relays are(K&L) in the pdc.

I pulled the cluster out of my truck today. Behind it were two plastic windows. On the left side closest to the driver's side door, the wiring came into the back of the cluster. Didn't see any other wiring tucked behind the cluster. Unfortunately, may lower dash is cracking up badly, so I didn't really tear into the dash to find the harness. I do have the factory OE fog light switch installed that I had pulled out of another truck. In the back of the OE fog light switch was the connector that has 5 wires running to it that I cut from the other parts truck. Listed below are photos of the rear and front of the connector. If you get a few moments, take a look behind your dash to see if you can find it.

I suspect the wiring harness is there, but well hidden.
