Fog/Driving Light Question

im in the same boat. 02 with no fog lights, just the exposed holes where they go. I havent had the time, but I plan on looking around for cheap fogs that will fit nicely and wire them myself.
The expensive way would be to buy the volvo fog kit (install yourself) and have the dealer do their software thing and turn them on. The s60 is pre-wired for fogs, look under the bumper cover, you will see the plugs for them.

I did not know that 02 did not come with fog lights. I am not sure if 02 S60 has the switch. But it could be located on left hand side just beside fuel tank cover switch. One of our volvo cars an 04 S40 did not have fog light but have provision to install and have switch on left hand side just below the low beam headlights.

next to the rear fog button is a blank button panel. that is the spot for the front fogs (the switch is under there as well). Part of the volvo kit includes the actual button that goes there.
So the s60 comes pre-wired for fogs, including the switch, but lacks the physical button, relay, and the fog lights themselves if Im not mistaken. (edit, and lacks the software to turn them on)...

I asked a local Volvo shop (not dealer) and they thought it would be $500 apx to install the lights !!!
I'm in the wrong business
I asked about doing some aftermarket lights and this is what they said..
The car is a "network" car and very sensitive to add-ons so it might not work
with aftermarket lights. If I have to I'll run lights to the trunk with a seperate battery. I will have driving lights without spending $500

That should work fine, that is the option I am considering (aftermarket lights and wire them to the battery and a switch myself).
There is an IPD how-to video for a boost controller, search youtube. This video will show you how to snake cables from the trunk to the interior thru the drivers door/fender area.

I had to replace one of the fog lights in our 02 XC (thanks honey for running into that ice bank), it was $89 for the entire light housing. It bolted right on. I would check on line dealers, local dealers, salvage yards for Volvo stuff, get the best price, then decide if you want good Volvo lighting (mostly Hella for an 02) or aftermarket stuff youll pay almost as much for.
