Question 1998 Factory fog light install...what's needed from the donor vehicle?

I have access to and the opportunity to take the factory fog lights off of a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Country and install them on my 1998 Cherokee Classic, is this possible and if so how difficult? I have tried to find a factory wiring diagram online to see what's involved... I'd like to know if I need a part of the lighting harness (if so what part(s)) and if it's practical to even try this swap.

Has anyone ever attempted this? When finished BOTH vehicles need to operational so cutting and splicing really isn't an option at this point. I do know of the availability of aftermarket fog lights as well as the factory "dealer install" optional fog lights, I'm just trying to see if I can use what I already have at my disposal.

Thanks,
Pete

I'm pretty sure most XJ's were wired for fog lights even if they didn't have them. Check behind the bumper

Already have - no visible wiring for the fogs behind the bumper and no female receptical pins in the fuse box for the fog light relay.
