Bumper question.

First of I know these questions have probably been asked several times, but when I searched I couldn't find any answers. Hopefully you guys can help me.

I have an 01 2x4, and I want to install fog lights. Where can I buy a valence for the front bumper that has the fog light holes cut out? Would the wiring already be in place or would I need to buy a wiring kit? Would it be easier to install a seperate switch, or would it be easier to change the switch I have now to accomodate the news lights?

Thanks,
James

The wiring should be there tucked up under the headlights. As for the front valence, start checking the salvage yards. I know I looked for someone else and found a yard here that had them for $50.

If you use the factory lights, then you can swap out to a factory switch that will operate them. But you will also need to put in the relay in the electrical box under the hood on the drivers side with a relay for the extra lights. Easy to do. The relays kind of look like fuses. Just plug right in.

Thanks guys for the responses. I will check some salvage yards around here, and look on Ebay too.
