Did 83 SC came with front Fog Lights?

Dear All,

Did 83 SC came with front Fog Lights?
The front Bumper has the brackets but there is no internal switch of
wires to find.

Has someone already did the upgrade?

Thanks you for all the positves comments.

Oh you want positive comments!
My 81 had no holes in the front valance but the switch was there but no relays an/or wires
I believe it is a dealer option.

I believe fog lights were optional on SC's. If you don't have the interior switch somone must have put aftermarket ones on.

I think the fog lights might have been a factory/dealer option for the SC's.

Where would the switch be? I have fog lights on my '83 but there is no wiring harness or switch. That is one of my projects this summer.

My 81SC has fog lights. The switch is a pull out type above the radio, next to the rear window defrost switch. They work.

My brother Mikes 83 has what appears to be factory lamps, switch on the dash by the rear defroster knob, just like my 75

My 83 Cab has factory Fog Lights. The switch is just to the left of the cigarette lighter and is wired through the main light switch as the Fog lights only come on when the headlights are on. They do not switch off when I have the high beams on as they sometimes do with newer cars.
