none of that will fit on your car without the rewiring etc. i was also looking to buy those yellow ones but when i figured that they are not worth the time and money. I just bought yellow lamin-x tint tape for my fogs and now my fogs looks better than those ebay ones. and produce the pure yellow output with yellow POLARG H3 bulbs in them.

The wiring is the same as any other aftermarket fog light set up. Worth the time IMO. It will fit your housing perfectly since it's made for your car. As far as light output you'll more then likely have to upgrade your bulb.

ya but its not a plug and play product.
why would anyone cut the stock connector etc. just to fit these cheapo fogs. stock ones are better. well to each his own so no comment!

There is no need to cut the stock wiring.


Just run your ground... your power and you can splice into the same wiring that you would do the parking lot and fog light wiring set up.

Tape off the ends of your stock wiring just in case you do decide to go back to stock. The 00 / 01 fog lights are not any better then these.

If there is any questions on how to run this type of set up or to run your light to a switch then pm me.

wow i didnt know that. so would the switch remain stock or do we have to place new switch for those lights? the reason i was avoiding those fogs because i thought they are quite hard to install. but you cleared pretty much out so i might consider buying a set in future. thanks.

You can run the set up through your parking lights which is the easiest.

Splice your fog light wiring together. Pos to Pos and Neg to Neg. Take your headlight (either side) out and cut the tape from around your parking lights to expose the wiring. Determine your Neg and Pos and splice your fog light wiring into your parking light wiring. Run a separate piece of wiring from your Neg side of your parking lights to the Chasis. This will blow fuses for you as oppose to your parking lights.

I put aftermarket fogs on my car and have ran this set up for almost a year with NO problems.

I have the yellow fogs you posted above.

I previously had the lamin-x, which eventually dried out, charred and left a brown spot.

The install was VERY simple. No splicing.

If you notice from the pictures, the harness/wire seem different.

What i ended up doing was reuse the OEM back cover(the thing u twist and pull) and swap it with the new one.

A ground screw is all that holds the back cover on the fog.

Take a look at the little shields in your fogs though. They may not be centered. It may affect your beam pattern.
