Holy Crap. I hope your kidding bro. Did you buy the oem ones on ebay or the aftermarket yellow ones? Also did you do your own bro.

If you have a second person to help out but with limited tools...takes about a day. If you have a shop did it, like me, 3-4hr top.

imo, the wiring part is the least of your worries... probably the easiest part.. its just all the shaving for near perfect fit.

Depend on how you want to wire it up. When I did my I added another wiring harness and tap it with my foglight socket on my headlamp and extended the wire down to the bumper and a simple plug and play. But when I turn on the foglight switch, only the bumper foglight lights up. I didn't want the OEM foglight on the headlamp to light up. Looks weird having both your headlamp and 2 set of foglights light up. So I took out the bulb from the headlamp housing from the fogligh there.

So wiring it up is pretty easy.

^ yup. just get 9005? 9006? Male to H11 female adapters.. if needed, extend the wires yourself but iirc, its long enough..

i did same method for flipside's 07-08 fogs when he swapped to 07-08 base front end.
