Default Rebel Fog Light Switch

I just picked up a new toy, a used '17 Rebel. There appear to be fog lights installed but there is no switch anywhere that I have seen. My '15 and my wife's '17 have fog lights and the switch is is the same place however the new Rebel there is no switch in the standard location. I have looked at the fog lights and it there is a clear cover and reflective background with what looks like an led bar. It is possible these could be a faux light but they look like star spangles awesome faux lights if they are not real. Any ideas or insisht?

I called my neighbor as he has a 17 rebel ,, he said his switch is the same place as my 15 its on the headlight switch and you just push it on, push it off,,, as for the lights they are a hid style light as to why they look different from the normal rams fog lights

Come on, I have half a brain. The standard push switch is not present. Yes I rtfm. Yes I googled this. Yes, I have searched the website. I've checked other message boards for info. I've eliminated all of the standard troubleshooting but still no light switch. It is possible that these are an aftermarket light and they did not put the switch in the standard location. Any other ideas?

I have looked for any switch and am coming up blank. I've tried using the turn signal switch for high/low beams but this did not turn the for lights on. I confirmed they are lights and not faux lights. This is absolutely astounding that I have lights and no switch. While the standard light **** does not look new new it's a possibility that at some point someone replaced the **** and installed the wrong one.

Peace dude, I had not meant to be too course when asking for help. According to the build sheet based on the VIN the fog lights are installed stock. I'll check with the dealership I purchased this from and see what they say. It's listed on their build sheet too so they ought to be able to troubleshoot this for me.
