    In regards to installing fog lights

    Yes, I know it's not a big deal to have them here in Aus, but I've sourced all the parts (Euro switch, bumper lights with fogs, wiring loom and #110 relay) but I have just one question.

    If I were to wire up the new lights, would I just remove the loom that connects above the radiator (assuming thats where the headlights are connected to), fit the new loom in that spot, plug light it in to respective spots, install the #110 relay and Euro switch and bobs my uncle?

    As long as you wire them so the turn off when driving with low beam ,so you can run the power from the High beam .

    Yeah, the Euroswitch allows you run them with either the low beam or high beam (If I read the 'tex forum correctly).

    Excluding the bumper lights with fogs (not buying them as of yet) ~60$AU including shipping. It's just a matter of finding all the parts off UK eBay and asking for an exception for them to ship to Aus haha.

    I just fitted them to mine, Just use your stock pull-out switch and remove dikky rear fog light globe and hey presto you have a functional front fog switch. Get the wiring harness from ebay (the one located in Mexico), it comes with the correct plugs. All you need to do is run a 3.5m wire from the ebay harness to under the dash and hook it up to the wire which sent power to the rear fog.

    Ah damn, if only I had known! Such a cheaper alternative!

    But I'm not too fussed... I'll be able to run my fogs with the DRL's and high beams

    Also, do the stock indicators have 2 pins that plug into from the harness? The fogs/indicators i'm buying state the the indicators are a 2pin only connection; not sure if this is the norm or not

    all you have to do is splice into the fog supply at the headlight harness and run a wire to your fogs each side and earth them to chassis.

    no relays or running wires into the cabin.

    turn the stock fog switch on and your done.

    easy
