Default Fog lights?

As you all know, the v6 models don't come with fog lights. I wanted to know how hard it would be to wire, or get someone to wire up the fog lights to its own, on or off switch. I have thought about having it wired into my parking/headlight switch, but have since decided against it.

Has anyone here done this? I figure I will try to implicate an on/off switch where it would be located on the GT models, near the bottom of the center display.

I also want to know if I could somehow get the center display of a GT to make the look more professional. I have tried google and all that comes up are the fog light housings. I want a kit, if there is one.

www.vmptuning.com sells v6 fog light kits with Ford OEM lights,wiring, and the button. Check it out. I don't know what year car you have or I would link it for you. Its under the appearance section.

It would look like this, correct?

Doesn't the V6 model have the hole there just has a plain cap in it instead of the button? that's how all the base GT models without traction control and other v6 cars I have seen are.

This is where I have my rear defroster button:



Maybe it changes throughout the years? I have a '99. I know what it should look like, but I don't have any of the cut outs, or plastic inserts that should be there.

Here is what my thing looks like. <-- LOL




Sorry, I forgot to set my camera for a smaller image.

No, I think you're talking about the convertible switch. But then again, I saw a this and you could be right.



Note the two buttons my the rear of the cup holders.

I wonder how much it would cost for me to get the GT console installed...



Then I would already have a space for the button, plus two other non functional buttons.

The 99-00 are different then the 01-04 from what I under stand when it comes to fog light, and defrost button placement.
