The wiring for the factory fog lite is super easy, hardly any of the
dash needs to come out, cuz you work from underneath. The only hard
part is getting the wiring thru the firewall, the directions have you
putting thru the center of the firewall, and I find that more
difficult than it has to be.
I actually put in an aftermarket pair for fraction of the cost, and
drilled a hole right near the brake master cylinder, if you look
there, it already has a punch hole for something.
Hope that helps.
