Mopar Fog Light Wiring Extension -or- Keeping Stock fog lights w/ Aftermarket Bumper
I'm posting this so that someone else in the same position doesn't have to search for a 1/2 hour! 
I installed my Shrockworks mid-width bumper, and decided to retain my stock fog lights... only to find out that the stock fog light wiring is too short to reach both lights, in their new positions in the Shrockworks bumper.
I'm a rookie at all things electrical, so I didn't want to have to deal with soldering, etc... So, I called my dealer's parts department, and asked them to order me a wiring extension for the fog lights. They promptly told me "there is no such thing," and that they couldn't order it for me unless I knew the part number.
So, after a while searching through this AWESOME site, I was able to find an old post that gives the part # for this item: 82210549.
Stock fog light wiring extension: $22.

I hope that this post is helpful to someone else out there. Thanks to WOL for this site, and to HappyC for the info I needed.

Thanks for this post, very helpful. OK, but now I'm confused.
I received the harness in the mail this week, and I just went under the JK to install 'em, but the connections are different.
So, I'm very stupid when it comes to electrical things, but I'll try explain. On the harness there is a plastic clip thing that fits jut fine into the wires on the Jeep, but then the other end is two prongs, one plastic coated and one bare metal - how do I get those to fit into the factory fogs? Please help someone.
I do agree that this site rocks!!!

Are you sure you received the right part?
This is the one i saw at the dealer:
bullet connectors and plug.
Edit:
I forget, do the factory fogs have the bullet connectors, or is it the plastic plug? I cant remember.
This harness is for bullet type connections. from the description:

the blade and other connector are probably what goes inside of that plug, did you get the plugs? maybe you have to assemble it now on your own?
I had to assemble the plugs for the wiring harness i have from them.

OK, no I don't think I got the plugs?
On the picture, the end without the plug needs to go into the back of the light housing. I guess I need to get some kind of converter to add a plug to the end of that? Anybody know where I can get something like that?
I gues I was hoping it would just be like an extension cord, plug in both ends and voila!!

Yes, thanks for the picture. That's exactly what I got.

I get what you are saying now. hmmm.... i dont know of a bullet plug to h13 adapter off the top of my head, probably a specialty thing, would have to start googling myself to see what i could find.

It's all good.mmm, thanks for your help. I think I may need to take the harness and light housing down to to Autozone to see if they can figure out if there is an adapter or converter thingie?
Thanks again HappyCurmudgeon.

well, all the individual parts definetly exist, it may be just a matter of sticking them all together if you can actually get them. I hope you can. If you get them, find out part numbers, please post it up, I am sure this will come up again.
