Fog Light Switch
While I'm doing my switch install for my power windows / hatch, i'm also going to be putting in my foglight switch. has anyone wired a stock switch to aftermarket foglights? Is there a diagram somewhere, I assume I can just cut the 'stock plug' and make it work by putting power and ground to it, but I just want to make sure. Whos done this?! thanks!

The following is a diagram from an 86. It might be helpful:

Re: Fog Light Switch
I think what he wants to do is wire the aftermarket lights (which has three prongs) to a OEM fog switch (that has 5 prongs). I would like the same info because my aftermarket fogs work fine but I would love to wire the factory switch.

Re: Fog Light Switch
exactly what i'm trying to do. I'm not sure about how many wires are on the switch and the fog lights. I haven't gotten chance to really look over everything yet.
Does anyone know if the plug that goes into the back of the switch is located in all cars even if they didn't come with fog lights? Where would I find it if it is? I assume if I can get that plug, I can cut the wires, and just hard wire it into a ground and fuse box, but I just want to be sure.
Thanks for all the replies!

Re: Fog Light Switch
My 1992 I used a stock switch and aftermarket lights. Ran the power to the switch from the fuse block, which illuminated the switch, and sends power to a relay under the hood. The relay under hood supplies power to the fog lamps from the fusible link block by the battery - so the big juice is pulled from under the hood, and not in the cabin. Thus, when I turn switch on, the switch illuminates, and power is sent on a small wire through firewall and under hood to a relay, which is switched on supplying power from the fusible link block (big wires) to the foglamps.

Re: Fog Light Switch
I found the plug buried up in my dash all taped up like you guys said it would be. It has a black wire, purple wire, light blue wire, and i want to say yellow (i think)
now heres my question... who knows what each of these wires does. I want to cut them off the harness and just hardwire them. I know how to wire them, i just need to know what wire is what. thanks!

The wiring for the fog light switch is around the bottom right of the schematic.
