SC front fogs

OK, so my 83 had the dreaded front battery rust - after all is said and done, I have a nearly new front end. Problem is, after updating my front valance and months at the body shop, I cannot locate where the front fogs plug in or how they are wired. As it did not have fogs when I bought it, I have no comparison. Can anyone enlighten me where the front wiring harness is or where I should be looking?
cheers-

there was a thread about fog light wiring last week, which should be locatable in a search.

There is a 2 pin plug on the inside of the front trunk for the fogs. One on each side of the inner fender. The wiring runs up from the fogs through a grommet in the inner fender and plugs in to the harness. The plug is a clear type with 2 flat blade pins.

Just did this on my 80SC. There is a small rubber grommet (hole) going into the each side of the trunk.

I just put one lead through at a time and it hooks up to the plastic plug in side the trunk.

Pictures please.

Just leave them unpowered, fog lights are more for "looks" than any real functionality anyway. Headlights MUST be used during legal nightime hours, over-shadowing fog lights making their light pattern USELESS.

Even here in the PNW the need for functional use of fog lights is RARE.
