remove the clips and replace them with the correct clips to enable the self tapping bolts to be screwed in 8 clips and 8 self tapping screws plug in the wires at the back of the foglights ......thats the hard bit done fit the relay in the fuse box then in the car fit the fog light switch remove the old single rear lamp one and push the new one in and refit it to the dash then the pita bit the bulb in the dash panel i take the dash out to fit although i think it can be fitted by removing the under dash panel switch on check that the lights are alligned and not pointing in the air
then turn your stereo up so the speakers distort and fog lights on and start cruising in your local high street with your elbow out the window ....you know all the birds love it ................good luck

No wiring needed. The plugs are all there, tied to the loom.

I'm such a twit. I've been driving about for months with disconnected because I just assumed I would need loads of rewiring ect ect. So all I need is a relay (which and where), the switch and the dash bulb?
