Re: Jeep Liberty Fog Lights
 

My Liberty was still at the dealership when I was there a few days ago.
I am headed back to town maybe as soon as tomorrow - no promises.
I will make a point of looking to see where he drilled and shoot you a photo
if I can.

Oh, and being the goofy broad that I am, you typed 'fog lights', I read
'running lights'.
Fog lights are a WHOLE different can of worms than the light bar on top that
I was thinking of. Duh!

Anyway, I'll see what I can do to help you from that end. I may even get
some techincal advice from ray or Joey in the shop.

You ought to just call the guys down at the service department, and ask
them. You never know, they might just tell you how, or even print you out a
set of destructions :)
