Default Fog Lights

Ok well I am needing some help. I own an Old 87 waggie. Neither of which came stock with Foglights. I am hoping to wire in some new but I am horrible with wiring lol. If I understand correctly my jeep is already wired to run foglights I just need foglights and a switch well I have them now. I even have tabs in the bumper to screw in Foglights. But I can't find the wires no where. Has anyone done this mod that didnt have them stock.

Or does any one have a Idiots guide too write-up stashed somewhere for me.

I appreciate any help yall can offer. Pictures are great also.

The idiot way is to duct tape maglights on the bumper.

Yeah but I am tired of replacing the batteries, I wonder if there is anyway to run wires from the main battery to my flash lights.

Stryker mine has factory wiring and there is two plugs that came out of a harness that runs under the front radiator support. each plug contains two wires and are weather tight type plugs. the dash switch has a plug in connector which appears to come from the headlight switch.
Do you have a FSM with a wiring diagram? Mine is too new to include your Flintstonemobile but if they didn't change much until my '90 they should be the same as other Renix era Jeeps.

The actual book is not much better. Who ever decided to lay this set of manuals out this way needs to be taken behind the barn for a good whuppin'. Let us know what you find.

Well I found that I hate looking stuff up on the FSM and will probably just try and hard wire a set in, instead of using the factory stuff lol.

Quitter. You give up too easy. I was looking for some wiring that the FSM said was there and spent a half day finding what they describeed but I found it. Can't remenber what it was right now but it was in the passenger kickpanel.

You need to try looking some more. Do you not have a real book to look at? I thought you did.
