Default Foglight Install

Alright i got some foglights a few days ago and i can only get one place to even agree to install them and they're going to charge me 135 bucks. Can somone tell me if this is way high, and how would i go about doing them myself.

That is way high, the install is easy to do yourself. The fog lights should have come with all the wiring and diagrams you need to install them.

I take it they didn't?

I am assuming they came with all the wires...there's a lot of them. And the instructinos are either korean or the translated parts are unreadable as if written by a 2 year old.

One cool thing I have found is that dealer installed items (like fog lights) are pre-wired both in the engine bay and on the dash. You just need to pull the blank (plastic piece) and get a switch from your parts department or off a wreck on www.copartfinder.com

In the engine bay, there will be a harness for the stock ones to plug into. Obviously aftermarket ones won't plug directly in, but you can figure out which is + and which is ground. Makes the install much easier.

let us know how it goes,

Well i went to my dealer today and holes have to be drilled to mount the lights so they said they wouldnt do it, just the same as circuit city and tweeter. Im getting installed tommorow and i guess im just going to have to sit in there and watch. I know i shouldnt take more than 2 hours so we'll see.
