Which trims with fogs or retrofit question

There's no easy way to retrofit them to a Voyager. At best you'd end up installing a Pacifica fascia with the OEM fog lights and have them wired to an aftermarket switch.
FWIW I think the OEM fog lights are worthless and certainly not worth the cost & effort to install them in a van that didn't come with them. Our van has them and we leave them off all the time. They don't increase night visibility. Having them on has a similar effect as having your instrument panel set too bright IMO. The bright spot they create right in front of the vehicle is a distraction that makes it a little harder to see down the road.
Sounds like your fogs need to be properly aimed.
Mine were wonderful for added visibility, helped light the ditches and road edges, and worked wonderfully in poor weather with the stock setup.
I've since upgraded them to yellow bulbs to add even more poor weather visibility, but I loved my factory fogs.
Our van was in a minor front end collision. The fog lamps were realigned at that time according to the repair order. There was no noticeable difference between before/after the repairs as it pertains to the fog lamp beam pattern.
Besides, even if they were aimed up more they'd be shining more light into the area the headlights already cover which doesn't add any value to their use.
I have yet to drive a modern vehicle that has fog lights that are actually useful. I'm convinced they're only there for aesthetics. That is probably why they're omitted from the lower trim levels of most models.
I've yet to drive a vehicle that fog lights haven't improved output substantially.
Obviously, all fog lights provide more light output, but in my experience they never wow me with a vast improvement in visibility like you imply so I'll just agree to disagree.
I'm confident the OP would be very disappointed with the difference if they actually went through with it. They might be able to test drive a Pacifica with fog lamps at night, but finding a dealership willing to let them test drive one overnight could be a challenge.

Never mind, there are a lot of threads on LED versus projector halogen or hid that I read up upon since posting. I'm looking between a 21 lxi voyager and 21 pacifica touring L price difference around 6K. Trying to determine if LED lighting is worth it . The majority of the other options don't matter to me much.
