I just picked up a 99 PF yesterday. Just a 99, not a 99.5. I'll get pics soon.

Anywho, theres a switch on the headlight steering wheel arm thingy for foglights, but I don't have foglights. How difficult would it be to hook up foglights utilizing that switch? Is it already wired, ready to go, just waiting for the lights or what?

In your front bumper there are two wires close to where the fog light mounts are, either that or they are somewhere near your blinker lights. they have a weird clip on them but its just a standard red and black wires running to the clip. What i did was cut the clips off and run the wires up to my brush guard and connected them to a set of running lights. Now when i hit the fog light switch the running lights come on. You can see down below the wires running up to the running lights.

Be careful because if you hook-up too strong of lights that draws too much amperage the stock wires that are there (if there are any but I am assuming there are) can't handle it & will melt. I've seen it, but not experienced it. Mine have a seperate switch. Plus you would have to rewire the lfog lights to work when the headlights aren't on (which isn't too difficult) Heres a link to the rewiring: http://www.4x4parts.com/ubbthr...10524

Here's a couple of pics of my setup:Wires from the outside

Fuses, etc:

Switches (1 for the front lights & 1 for the rear light):
