I added the OEM fog kit - see signature.

And here is my switch in the same locale....added a lighted one...
You will see in the pic my old stock light switch, but I now have the new one with the fog light picture on the round **** from the factory.

alright the 04 does not have the blankoff so in order to get it behind you would have to take off the lower facia piece just to put a little switchso i think i will have to fab up a bracket and put it under the dash because i will soon also have a train horn switch hellas switch and extra interior light switch and i can just mount them all together and they still be easily assecable and able to add more

I will try to get some pics. I just added the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs for the headlights and the foglights. It makes a big difference.

I ordered the 500's, should be in by the end of the week. But I am electricaly ignorant. I would like to get power from the low beam or park light but I don't know where to splice into them, under the hood or inside from the dash? If I do it under the hood, which of the three wires running to the headlight do I use?

You can hook them directly to a post by the fuse block so they have steady power if you don't want to splice into your wiring

i hooked mine around the lt parking light fuse just to make sure they worked and just ended up making it look nice and leaving it like that. got some wire loom and ziptied it to the factory wiring so it all look stock.
wiring is super easy.

I can power the relay from the bolt at the fuse box but I need to power the switch from a 12 v supply too, correct? I guess that needs to splice into the park light. Nick, do you have a pic of what you did in the fuse box? Thanks guys.
