Default 2002 v6 adding Fog lights help & Mach 460 help

Fog light:
Hello I am looking into hooking up fog lights on my 2002 v6. The button for the fog light has a dummy plug on it but the harness is ready for it. I cannot find any wires at the front of the car that would connect to it. Enless its hiding in the wires?

So i'm looking to see where i can find the button (dealer ship?) and I know where to get the light housings off Americanmuscle.com. And then on this www.Rockauto.com has the lightA connections.
Can anyone help me to locate the wires for it?

Stereo:
I have an aftermarket Deck Link - JVC Arsenal KW-ADV790 (kwadv790) All In-Dash Car Stereo Receivers Car Stereo Receivers and Head Units Car Audio Car Audio, Video, & GPS Navigation - Sonic Electronix

Car comes with the mach system with the subs and the 460 combined watts. I bought it this way and the sound just never sounds like it should. I had a 2000 ford windstar and the sound system in it was amazing for stock so i figured this one should too. But when I listen there limited bass and when its to high volume it almost pops from power over load. I know that these DVD decks have always been bad to want to pump power but I love my car and i love my music. I have taken the deck out right now to find out if they connected the left and right RCA cables and wired them in and they did all that so the amps should be pumping power to the subs. Can anyone help me with this issue. I've tryed using the EQ on the deck and all just doesnt sound right. And I dont want to have to get rid of this cool deck.

have you taken off the panels and looked at the speakers to know for sure you still have the mach speakers? when i bought my car it had kicker two ways where the subs should be and they sounded like crap. i ordered some mach speakers off ebay. btw, mach speakers have a black "Z" printed on the magnet, just so you don't get ripped off.
another option is to just find a factory head unit. it works better than a poorly installed aftermarket.
you can go to a car audio shop to have it rewired, the mach system is compatible with aftermarket units if it's hooked up right.
or you can go all out and replace the mach system with something better. this is the most expensive option but if you really like music this is the best option. the mach system is nice but far from the best.

there is no wiring harness that runs to the front of the car but the half of the wiring where the switch is is actually functional.. ive seen kits that have the full OEM quality wiring harnesses and switches and such though they do cost quite a bit.. i think i still have the link... here have a look

Foglights:
Mustang Lighting 1994-2004 Page 2 at V6MustangStuff.com (second page in the middle should be what you looking for)

stereo:
so i learned (after i bought my head unit of course) theres alot of things that go into car stereo (resisentce, ohms, db, watts, amps, gauge of speaker wire ect) so chances are your new head unit is to powerful for your speakers (thats why it sounds distorted at high volumes) and doesnt give out good bass just because its not designed to do that. but thats just one theory

yeah, if your not too big into watching movies while you're driving then putting in the factory deck would be a good option, and the cheapest if he's willing to give to you.
