Installing Fog Lights on 2011

So my '11 did not come with the factory fog lights in the headlight assembly, just the chromed over cap inside the headlight assembly where the light should be. I'm wanting to install aftermarket fog lights with the wrangler hood light bar any way. But, while looking at the accessories at Jeepworld today, noticed they have the kit to install the factory fog lights - http://www.jeepworld.com/accessories/li ... lights.htm. My two questions are, since the kit says it only fits 08-09.. does anyone know if there's any differences that would not allow it to work with mounting the light and replacing the steering column switch in an '11? And second question, is it even worth it to install this kit vs installing some aftermarket lights and just wiring my own switch into the dash?

Call your dealership and ask for a part number for the 2011 and see if its the same number that you found. For the long run you'll probably be happier with the mopar fogs rather than some chincy after market ones. $311, boy am i glad mine came with them!

Just spoke with parts at two dealerships and both gave me the same answer. They said the fog light kit that includes the wiring, headlamps and replacement steering column switch is only listed as being available on the 08 and 09. The first one said he wasn't really sure what all would be involved to add them to one that didn't come from the factory that way. The second dealership put me on hold and called Chrysler. The answer he came back with was that he would have to lookup a vin number from a Liberty that came with the factory fog lamps, then get a list of all the parts necessary to replace the headlamps, wiring and switch individually. So the cost will probably end up being a lot more than just $300 since it's not kitted. Looks like I'm going to just go my planned route and do the hood light bar mod on the front bumper with aftermarket lights and my own switch. At least I finally get to put some holes in my jeep and make it my own
