installing OEM fog lights

From : van

Q: i just received the oem fog light kit from mail order. instead of the new headlight switch that you pull for the fog lights it came with a radio shack type toggle to turn them on. is there different types of oem fog light kits for the 04 ram trucks also i though i could skip the kit harness and use the existing plugs and wiring the truck came with. now it seems that there might be a lighting computer to control the fog lights in trucks that come from the factory with the fog lights installed. is there a lighting computer/controler if the fog lights are going to look like aftermarket wiring and switches non factory i will just return these and get some quality aftermarket fog lights. .

on my 99 chevy silverado i had to have the dealer tell the computer that it now has fog lights! what a rip off. i just received the oem fog light kit from mail order. instead of the new headlight switch that you pull for the fog lights it came with a radio shack type toggle to turn them on. is there different types of oem fog light kits for the 04 ram trucks also i though i could skip the kit harness and use the existing plugs and wiring the truck came with. now it seems that there might be a lighting computer to control the fog lights in trucks that come from the factory with the fog lights installed. is there a lighting computer/controler if the fog lights are going to look like aftermarket wiring and switches non factory i will just return these and get some quality aftermarket fog lights. .

thanks for all the replies... it ended up being another universal aftermarket oxygen sensor that apparently wasnt friendly to the chrysler computer system... time will tell if that was the source of the gas-in-the-crankcase issue. thanks for all the responses! js jacob suter wrote friend of mine is broke and ive offered yeah yeah im a sucker to help him fix his transportation - a 97 jeep wrangler 2.2l/5 speed. it has about 80k miles and recently had been down for a few months due to a spontanious transmission failure... essentially heres the conditions #1 - runs like shit an gets horrible fuel economy #2 - visable black no white or grey smoke from tailpipe at lower rpms/idle #3 - idles badly likes to die #4 - getting gas in oil.. personally this sounds exactly like when the fuel pressure regulator started leaking on my old exploder but weve come to realize its built like my 99 dodge and has no engine mounted vacuum adjusting fpr... my only ideas are either bad injectors computer gone haywire or sensor feeding it some bs or a bad in-tank fuel pressure regulator pushing the fuel rail pressure up. it is throwing a check engine light and that computer will dump out codes but i forgot to ask if he had checked them yet... any ideas thanks jacob suter .
