I'm going to resist the temptation to be an A-Hole and attempt to help, but I first I need to understand what you want and what you have. To help us understand, PLEASE use punctuation.

Are you saying you have the plugs in by the front bumper for the fog lights, but they aren't plugged in?

Also, it's really easy to hook up fog lights. You just have power and ground and polarity doesn't matter. A relay should be used, but hey, plenty of F150's have burnt to the ground anyway.

OK, now I understand. I'll try to go out to my truck today and see if I can tell where that harness goes to.

I'm not clear on another point. You say it has the OEM headlight switch with the fog light option? Did you add the lights in the bumper?

when i bought truck it had no front bumper or valance. I bought valance with fog lamps in it, because I saw the headlight switch had the fog light option when you pull out dial it illuminates the amber fog light icon

OK, that clears it up. I looked at my truck and the fog harness goes into a main harness and over the radiator to the other side. I don't see any sub harness with a round plug. Can you snap some pics?

So in the first pic, is the harness that is running across the top of the relay/fuse junction connected to the plug hovering over the air filter housing? Did you pull that harness out of its factory location, or did you purchase the truck this way?
