The tradesman trim level has a solid bumper with no cutouts for fog lites. IMHO it would not look as great with add on bolt on fog lites. My factory fog lites look and work great. When I look at Rams without fog lites it looks kind of plain and stripped.
I think I would start looking at junk yards for a bumper with fog lights in it. If every other trim model came with the cutouts it shouldn't be too hard to find. Could even grab wiring harness and switch while there. I'm not up on my Dodge trucks so I can't say if earlier year bumpers are the same, but possible.

My experience with hanging fog lights under the bumper is that they soon disappear with inadvertent parking situations or road hazard.
BTW, you may be able get the fogs lights still existing in their location if you source the bumper from a wrecking yard. This would make the buying decision vis. money a bit more attractive since you won't be buying aftermarket lights. If Dodge put the same light wiring harness in the Tradesman as other trucks, it may be a plug-and-play refitment.
