I'm a very do it yourself kind of guy but I'm wondering if it would be better to spec out the truck to have the fog lights already installed or get the kit and DIY? I'm wondering if running wires and installing switches will be needed or if a computer needs to be connected to turn on the feature like I had to in my Ram.

It's anybody's guess. IDK if the base Slate truck has fogs or not or whether one needs to purchase a bumper upgrade to get fogs or not.

I actually hope it doesn't have fogs. I do need them, but stock fogs are usually junk. I want to DIY my own. Even super-cheap Amazon kits are great. I just recently installed $28 fogs on my Jeep that are equivalent brightness to my aftermarket LED headlights. Took a little over an hour to install.

There doesn't seem to be much in the way of mounting surfaces on the front end of the Slate, though.
