How do I go about getting fog lights on my early 99? I don't know when they came out with them but I would like them on my truck?

 

There was a thread some time ago IIRC Zach had gotten a set and had a tough time mounting them. The bumpers are a bit different or something. I'll see if I can dig up the thread.

 

the bumpers are different when they have driving lights,you have to fab a bracket for the bottom mount I believe
I bought a set 5 or 6 maybe 7 years ago and never fabbed the bracket yet

 

I tried to do this to mine a couple months ago, I couldn't find the mounting holes in the bumper. I would love to find out a way though.

 

there is a factory kit available. I debated buying it since it runs ~$250. see Item number: 260337615688 on fleabay.

You can always got the aftermarket route to save money. i still have my aux reverse lights sitting on the shelf.....

 

On mine, only 1 hole lined up,so I drilled the others. I had a guy I work with get me the harness that plugs into them. But I didn't know the 99'and 2000 model didn't have the option,so I straight wired them from that point...

 

so if they did'nt have the option then there are no plugs for a plug and play? I could get a bumper off an 01 or something just curious also thanks Jim for trying to help me find the thread

 

What's odd is the 99-00 have the holes for the fog lights... you would think the mount points would be there. I'd like fogs too, and I have the benefit of 2 switches that aren't being used right now I could wire them to.

 

'99 and 2000 had fog light option but the bumpers were different
all the wiring and switch can be bought in a kit
somewhere I saw a dealer install kit that had the lower bracket

 

So is this is plug and play if I get a bumper and lights off of say an 01 or does it matter?

 

all the parts are the same '99 to '04
I don't recall how much wirining has to be installed but the headlight switch also has to be changed

 

My headlight switch pulls out just like my f-150 did.what I am saying is when u pull out that turns on the fog lamps

 

see post #5

 

Though the **** pulls out in the 99 and 2000's just like later years, it does ABOSLUTELY NOTHING, electrically. There is NO switch that makes and breaks a circuit with the push/pull action.

BTDT, had it all apart to no avail.

My 2000's bumper has no lip with holes for mounting the lights, and I'll just add some small extension brackets.

When I get that round tuit...

Pop, if you find a round tuit check for another one close by... I could use one also.
