just got a set of factory fogs for my '97 ST and trying to figure out what to do to wire them up. I really want to use a relay but don't want to fork out the near $100 for a new switch. Does anybody know if the wiring for the fog lights leading into and out of the switch can be cut and routed to a simple toggle switch? If so, what are the wires needed? So i need to know what color wires are coming from the relay to the factory switch and the wires from the factory switch to the fog lights.

$100 for a switch?! don't think you are looking at the right places
If you have factory fogs, you can put in your own simple toggle switch I'll have a look at some diagrams and see if I can find wire colour edit Had a quick look and looks like Malpaso's sticky is best.. Theres tons of topics out there but I can't seem to find this specific answer Have a go at downloading a repair manual and look up the wiring in that?

I have the Haynes manual and it has fog wiring for 4th gen, but diagrams for 6th gen don't show fog lights whatsoever. I bought factory fogs. The multiswitch that has the fog light switch on it currently runs around $75-$100 on ebay and I really don't want to pay that for a switch. I have a toggle switch I can use, but unlike Malpaso's sticky thread, I still want to use the relay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Standard-CBS-1007-...9c0&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/Standard-CBS-1007-...cbf&vxp=mtr |

Just buy a switch and relay from autozone. It'll save you a lot of money.

My pre facelift fogs are run to a main power source, through a relay into my parking lights and into a toggle switch so that I can run them alone with the parking lights as a day/dusk driving light. Advance Auto Parts has a wiring kit specifically for this and it's $11. The switch is chinsy though so I made my own light toggle setup.
