When I bought my E I looked online instantly for fog lights because I knew I wanted to add them. having wired up sets before, I was looking forward to getting them installed. I got a set of factory fog lights along with the wiring harness for them (and a few other odds and ends) for about 180.00 CAD. A little overkill, but I was hoping for an easy, OEM install experience. I held onto them for a while before actually installing, and when it came to install time, I soon realized that It would be far from an OEM install (due to the wiring harness coming from on 03, which uses a switch near the hood latch. Both of my switches were already in use for cruise and VSA). Luckily I had completed the switchboard mod, so I could easily connect them there. The install required taking off the whole front bumper and cutting out the plastic circles where the fog lights go. This was a bit of a pain, as it was kind of difficult to get round cuts. I ended up just making about 40 incisions in a circular shape to do the job. From here, the fog lights popped in and mounted super easy. Because I had the complete wiring harness, I connected it to both the fog lights, and spliced it where they met to attach it to the switch panel fuse box. After that it was just a matter of putting the front bumper back on.
