Question How to add fog lights...and what is the other switch for??

If your car did not come with them what parts do you need to add them (other than bulbs and a switch). I could not find a switch harness behind the switch cover.
P.S. What's the other switch for?

you need more than that to run the stock foglights when you have an 05... look again at your headlights... there are no foglights! you must get a new headlight unit or get aftermarket

In order to get HID's and Foglights in 05' you have to get the sun sound and leather package. Its really lame but I guess they figured they could make money off of it.

2005 Evos have Foglights and HID's if you get the sun sound and leather package. I just traded in my 03 for an 05. So in order to get the HID's and Fogs, you have to buy the model with leather. If you dont want the leather seats and you tell them that you wont buy the other model without the fogs and HIDs and they will most likely put them in for you
