Sorry dude...I went to an independent truck store to have mine installed. Also had 2 amps installed at a radio place. I'm not one for DIY when it comes to electronics.
I'm sure somewhere, someone has posted this....try a search.
Good luck.

I am also looking to install fog lights. Any suggestions on which ones to install ?
The front bumper already has the place for the lights to be inserted - If I can;t wire it myself - I may have a local shop do the work. Hofefully, it's not to difficult.

Are you already using the Aux Light switch? If not you may want to use that instead of running a new wiring switch. You may also want to consider a remote switch from Hella or Optilux that way you don't need to run any wires into the firewall. I'm using the OEM switch for aftermarket fogs and the Optilux wireless remote switch for the Big Lights on the bumper. BTW, if you use the OEM AUX switch everything is already wired up all you have to do it connect the lights to the OEM Wire harness.
