My Pat doesnt have fog lights but I wondering if anyone has bought regular fog lights (that are cheaper) and did an install themself. I would just like to know the diameter they used so I can go buy them and do an install. Just dont want to run back in forth to the parts store.

I'm interested in this as well. How did you run them? What did you connect them to? Headlights? Sorry, but I'm a novice.

A year ago, I added a set of four inch fog lamps as my first mod. I took photos and posted those with a brief description of what I was doing in each photo. Just click on each link to get to the Gallery photo. Hope these help...

So is splicing the headlight power cable not a good idea on this car? My idea was they might as well be on with your headlights.

You can splice to the headlight, but I would do it with a relay. Don't add the extra fog light draw to the head light circuit. Run a complete new (and fused) circuit from the battery, and just splice the trigger for a relay to turn the fogs on.

What is the difference in price for the factory lights or the jobber lights? If there is not much difference I would go factory and get the wiring harness included.This is just a thought.

Factory fogs are pretty pricey compared to aftermarket.
