Early '99 question

New to the board and a first time diesel owner..
Early '99 f250 sd 4x4 lariat, ext cab short bed..
Already did some minor repairs and mods. Which leaves me to the question.
Driving/fog lights factory or after market on early '99??? I have old brackets no lights or wiring harness but my headlight switch has a push/pull function along with the turning motion for lights... Thanks

You will have to use after market Fog lamps. And, the Switch will not activate anything. The Push/Pull mode was not active until 2000 MY and later.

However, a Relay and some wiring will allow them to become active when the Headlamps are on.

They are NOT "driving" lights.

I high-beam every idiot driver that has them on when it's not foggy (unless they're being led/tailed by "innocent" drivers). The brand new Dodge (Sorry "RAM") pickups have FOG lights that are brighter than the low beams and factory-aimed to be just as blinding as high beams.
