I need a favor from 1998 owners

I'm in the process of installing fog lights in my Dak (it didn't come from
the factory with 'em). I bought a kit from Pilot made specifically for Daks
but it comes with its own wiring harness and a real cheesy switch. I
ordered the factory switch from the local dealer for a better look.

When I removed the plug in the instrument panel I discovered that the wiring
harness is already there. When I plugged the switch in and turned on the
parking lights, the switch lit up (so you can see it at night).

Just for the heck of it, I removed the relay for the wipers in the power
distribution center under the hood and plugged it into the empty fog light
socket. I was real surprised to hear the relay clicking with the fog light
switch just the way it is supposed to and even more surprised to see the
green light in the switch go on even though there aren't any lights up
front. It seems that even if you don't have factory fog lights, you already
have 99% of the wiring. Seems to be a lot of money for a switch, a relay,
and 2 bulbs from DC.

Anyway, the favor I need is for you to look down the right side of your
radiator (looking from the front) all the way at the bottom. Those of you
without fog lights should have an open connector zip tied to the main wiring
harness (oval shaped, 2 cavities, with a yellow waterproof boot around it.)
I'm hoping that those of you that do have fog lights have this connector
running down to your lights.

If I'm right, I'll just get a relay and splice into the connector that DC so
thoughtfully provided.
