I have a 92 4x4 that i installed the correct air dam with space for fog
lamps.In 92 the sport model had this air dam as an option and I was able to
get a part number out of the Mitchell accident repair guide.My cost thru a
friend was 91 bucks.While i was fixing a corroded splice under my under hood
fuse box I discovered an open single pin connector that was open.This open
connector is for off road lamps and is directly powered the headlight relay
in the box.Hope this helps.
