Im pulling wires off of a GT but is it better to swap the intire light harness? Or can can I just wire part of it into mine? If i take the whole harness is there anything that has to be changed? I read somewhere that the fan fuse is double on the GT,

i thought wiring foglights in would as simple as putting it to the battery, through the firewall and to a switch mounted somewhere??

No they dont. Only 94/95 came with the wiring for the fog lights from the factory. Anything after that you have to run the wiring to the center consel (if you want that OEM look), get a switch, run the lines to the lights themself, run a line to the battery, and run a fuse (or two).
