I am trying to put some fogs on my 2010 xd as well. I want to wire them on a separate switch like you said you did, but I can't see any easy way to thread an extra wire through the grommet in the fire wall. There are so many wires packed in there it would be a miracle to even get a wire hanger through. Any suggestions? How did you run the wiring for your switch?

The mod looks great by the way. I hope mine comes out as clean. I am going for more of a DRL light than fog light though. I want to use LED's mounted in the same area as yours.

What set of lights did you buy and how and where are you guys actually attaching them to the body? It's obvious that you have to cut an opening in the black trim pieces but after that how do you secure them in place to the body or frame? I am considering these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/170775585205

I bought two different sets of lights since I am not 100% sure how I am going to mount them either.

The first set is smaller lights that will be much easier to mount since the actual light housing is threaded with a nut on the end. I would just have to drill a hole to mount them. I was thinking about mounting 2 to 4 of these on each side since they are small. They would look cleaner since there would be no visible mounting hardware, but they would be difficult to angle forward without modification.

The second set I got are actually waterproof flood lights that I was going to experiment with. They are larger and would provide more light, but would need to be mounted using some type of modified hardware.

I am also a little wary of cutting up the fog light covers, so I am making some templates out of the plastic from a rubbermaid container lid to do some experimenting. Worst case scenario I will have to drop 40-50 bucks for new fog light covers if I mess them up.

My lights didn't come in the mail yet, but I will probably start my own thread once the project gets going. I am still doing some research on how to fish wiring for a light switch through the firewall.
