When installing aftermarket foglights, do I use the wires that were connected to the stock foglights? Do I cut off the gray connector or do I keep it? How about with the mounting? Do I need to do any drilling or anything?

do u already have them? they should come with all the wires needed, i did mine with an inside switch, you could drill and put the mounting hardware in there, or they should come with 3m double sided tape that works just fine if you make sure it is on there good, answer those and i will help u from there

No I don't have them yet. I was trying to get some input as to which ones to get and how much they will cost me. I want to install them where the stock fogs would normally be and I want to be able to use the stock switch too.

If your car wasn't made with foglights, there's no switch there either. Its a thing on the turnsignal that you turn. You can get one and put it on, and I hear that you have to pull the steering wheel to do it.

piaa are good as well as catz and i have had two sets, the first was by something like street blazer or something, they looked good, but didnt do much for light, the ones i have now are $50 from pepboys and are in a chrome housing with a blue lens, these look great, and as far as light they look brighter than my xenon headlights, they are great, i have a switch mounted next to the security light, it looks sweet
