Fog Lights
i have an 07 SLT 1500 QuadCab, and i have the cutouts in the front bumper for fog lights
is there a kit you can buy to install them?
if so were can i find this kit?
Also im thinking about going with some 100w lights behind the grill, because i do alot of night driving to work and back.
any ideas?
thanks!

Here is the kit. It comes with the two fog lamps, the two black bezels, the wire harness, and the new interior switch that includes fog light control; all factory Mopar parts. Because yours is an SLT, you may luck out and have the computer programmed already to control the lights from the factory, but if you plug them in and they do not work, just take it to the dealer and they can program it for you. Not sure what that costs as mine was plug-and-play however.

Sorry to hi-jack, but I do believe my truck is already wired but it doesn't have a switch inside or the lights. I will have to take a picture to show the wire, but it is on the driver side coming off of the wires attached to my headlights. Would I just need the lamps and switch?
This is the wire that indicates your truck is pre-wired for fog-lamps. It is located on the driver's side on the inside of the front bumper, .

If we are talking about staying factory then No, you'd still need the wire harness. If your truck was pre-wired for fog lamps from the factory, all that means is that you don't need to mess with fuses nor with running wires through the fire wall. But you will still need the harness that connects the fog lamps to each other and the pre-wired section.

They are not connected to your high beams. If you plan to utilize the factory pre-wiring, you'll need the new headlamp switch that is included in the kit I posted above. The new headlamp switch has the push function that will control your new fogs.

Genosgarage.com sells adapters to run brighter bulbs in the stock fog light housings. No wires to cut, just a bit of filing on the brighter bulbs base.
I have 55w behind the grill lights but i can tell you, just getting Phillps Xtreme power headlight bulbs and Sylvania White star fog light bulbs has given me a HUGE difference in light output without raising any wattage and in turn, not risking melting any wires or housings. Total investement for all was well under $100.00 and i did not have to cut a single wire or make any alterations to anything. Takes 20 minutes to change them all out.
The behind the grill lights help, but in most states are illegal to use on public roads. Now i just save them for heavy fog/snow as i have yellow filters on them.
