Your front bumper was probably replaced by a previous owner and the fogs weren't replaced. You have it easy if those are factory connectors. Turn on the switch and check for power with a multi-meter. If you have power you can either find factory lights or cut off the connectors and run the wires to some aftermarket lights.

Ok yeah that's probable what happen.and when I turn on the switch where the little light is doesn't turn on I'll have to pull the switch out to see if it's hooked up.where is the fuse or relay located for this?

The switch has a separate power wire for illumination so it's possible that the bulb is just burned out. Look in you power distribution box under the hood and see if there's a relay in the fog light slot. Also request a factory build sheet to see if your Jeep came with fogs. http://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/j...ull&category=U

Hey I am not sure which slot is for the fog light relay but assuming the switch I have goes to the wires under my bumper.So hopefully if I get fog lights I can already just use the switch for those correct ?
