I just got the fog light assemblies tonight. I'll probably install them tomorrow if the weather cooperates. I will then need to get the fog light bezel and the wiring kit. I hope that wiring kit is as easy to install as stated here.  I still have the factory battery cable ends so it might be tricky to tie the power wire into the positive terminal since I don't believe the bolt comes all the way out.
Do yourself a favor and make sure the wire from the battery to the really and then to the lights is heavier than the total current draw of the lights.

Example, "2 lights x 55 Watts/ea = 110 WattageT; 110 WT / 12 volts = 9.1 amps; which in turn calls for a minimum of 16 gauge wire, make to use 14 gauge wire instead.  It will help the lights in the long run, the bulbs will last longer, and run tighter.
I don't know what The Buggman has for wire gauges inside of his harness but check it out.

AND... The Buggman will be there for you if you run into trouble but I am thinking you shouldn't.

Get some pictures of the mounting points and how everything attaches, should help out someone else in your shoes.
