All 1st Gen CLs are pre-wired for the factory fog light kit. If you're looking to install the factory foglights, here's the instructions: http://public.fotki.com/dustbuster4/installingwiring/ [After selecting a pic, click on "Get Original Uploaded Photo" for large size pics.]

If you're looking to buy them, this guy is legit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2423524203

If I were to buy aftermarket fog lights, I'd wire it up to the factory harness using the factory switch. You just need a relay. Then I'd cut the "hot" wire that goes to the button and wire up another "hot" wire that's hot with the ignition. But that's just me...

You'd have to buy it from the dealer for like...25 bucks or something. I'm just really into having a clean look.

Fogs, switch and a relay....Everyone says they are all pre wired...

BUT!!! I just took off my bumper and I don't see ANY wiring for the fog lights. Someone posted a picture a while back with the wires and a blue connector. I don't have squat.

No...

1. First hook up the switch.
2. Then hook up the 85 pin on the relay to a ground (any metal on the car).
3. Hook up the 86 pin to the battery.
4. Find the "hot" wire coming from the foglight connector.
5. Then hook that up to the 30 pin.
6. Then hook up the 87 pin to the foglights.
7. Ground the foglights.

I believe this is how it goes. I hope I'm not wrong. If I am I know someone will correct me .
