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.

Ebay does have some valence, and bumpers.

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