KC Light hookup

I recently installed a pair of KC lights on my front bumper. There was pre-existing wire hook up to plug into. There is also a fuse for fog light hookup. but my jeep doesnt have the foglight pullout switch on the column. so i guess what im trying to ask is.... is there anything to hook into behind the dash to install a switch or something?

Below your radio there should be 4 spots for the stock switches....I believe there are wires behind there to hook a switch to mine has them there.

yea i just installed 100w slimlite fog's and just drilled a hole large enough in blank slot in the dash where the Mopar switches would have went if my TJ came with Factory fog lights and put the KC switch in there. Wiring these things is really really easy.

i wouldnt run anything more than 55 watt lights on those wires. thats what the factory fogs were. it might be ok, but id rather play it safe instead of trying to find an electrical gremlin one day.

That wire looks too weak for 55w as is, and anything more is just asking to burn your Jeep down.
