Default Valance

So I'm thinking about putting a fog valance on and I was wondering if it's worth wiring it to a switch on the dash instead of just tying it into the headlights somewhere under the hood. If so how hard is it? I haven't been able to find a valance which comes with fogs yet so if someone knows where I can that'd also be appreciated. (sorry if there's a thread on this already I missed)

Yes LMCtruck for that, It may be pricey shipping but worth it. As far as inner wiring for the fogs, hit Buggman up he builds stuff like that and I am sure he can make something up for you

Yeah I've seen his fog switches and was thinking about that. Would I just run a positive from the headlights around the steering column to the radio bezel then?

Check out partsgeek.com too.
I got a grille from them for about $30 shipped.

Finding a valance with the fogs, brackets & wiring will be hard but you should be able to put the pieces together from a few sources.

For the wiring, I wouldn't even try to get the factory wiring integrated unless you really want 100% stock. I make a conversion kit for OEM fog switches that bypasses the factory wiring & allows you to use pretty much any 12v accessory.
