No, it may be stowed behind the headlight.

Damn shame.
Maybe im all off. If you see the attacments I found a harness with 2 round (assuming fogs) attached to the tow cover. The other one wasnt in the same place because the cover has been replaced. So I traced the wire in the y shape in the picture and it led to the horns? I found two wrapped up wires on each side behind the headlights with three flat. Couldnt be those?

The plug in the 2nd picture and 3rd picture is the ambient temperature sensor wire.

Watch this fog light video and you should see what the plugs looks like.

I have NEVER seen one NOT wired. You need to take a better look. The wires are usually plugged into a holder behind the head light seen from above.

Fog lights connector on 850(s) looks just like in the Avip's 3rd picture.
But...850 & s,v70 fog lights are different,so...it seems that connector is different too.

I'm pretty sure the connectors are the same. Here is a new video of the connectors on the S70.

Thanks robert!
The vehicle was in a Collison in the past so these were relocated to behind the headlights all tied up in zip ties. Thanks!
