I would try that ghetto search again. There is a post almost every week about factory fogs and their wiring.

Hate to say it but you may want to pay the big bucks at a dealership for the complete kit. You get lights, switch/stalk, brackets, relay, and maybe the little covers that go next to the lights to cover two bolts. I'm trying to pick pieces out of junkyards and ebay and its getting to be a pain. The stalk/switch is easy to find and replace. The brackets weren't too tough to find. But the lights are a pain. Plenty on ebay for $100 EACH and that's what some junkyards charge. The kit is $177 at some dealerships. There's an Infinity dealership in Phoenix area selling for that price. I'm starting to wish I went that route.
Everything is easy to install.

To see if you're prewired, check behind the foglight openings in your bumper. If you see a plug taped up then you're golden. You'll see the same when you remove your old headlight switch to replace with the one with foglight action.

I am a bit curious about installing fogs as well. I have a GXE, so I know mine isn't prewired. I was considering getting some from customenterprise....has anyone here got their fog kit from there? also, how difficult was a complete installation assuming no prewiring?

Still looking for any answers on this though.
