the switch you mean? Just running the 2 wires that came with the foglights to the switch. The switch is a perfect fit and just snaps into the little popout area.

i'm interested in this mod but in Va. i would have to run them through the stock wiring so that the fogs would cut off when high beams come on or they will fail saftey insepection. so i know the wire for factrory fogs are their but what else do i need to make it work like stock set up?

They do have these in 3 types: yellow fog light, kind of a rainbow overlay, and the clear driving light that you see below.

Can you take a close up pic of these installed? Possibly at a slight angle so I can see how flush they fit?

Thanks!

Just did this today, only slightly different. I just wired mine up to come on when the parking lights come on, due to the fact that I was out of switch slots in my dash. I think it turned out pretty good, mine don't sit as flush as I was hoping, but that is only noticeable up close. Install was really easy, they provided all the wires and the switch to make it really simple.

Not bad for a $18 mod.[/img]

Oh hey by the way, anyone else with these fogs, have you switched out the bulbs? They are H3s and I am thinking about putting in the typical yellow bulbs.

the yellow ones just have a yellow film over the lens, and I personally don't like the looks of that when a regular halogen bulb shines through it.

Probably not the safest idea, but for now I just have them tapped into the turn signal's constant power wire. So when I turn the parking lights on the fogs come on. So far no problem though.
