Run the wire harness along the factory harness.





Run wires off fog harness into the fuse box. You will need to pull the 21 and 12 pin connector as indicated in the OEM instructions.





Here are the 21 and 12 pin connectors removed from the fuse box. To insert the new wires you have to undo the locks on these wire connectors. Use a small flat head screw driver to gently pry the locks off...they pop outwards..be careful they break easily.



New fog harness wires installed in factory harness.



For the I4 this is where you mount the bracket for the relays. Undo this bolt holding in the throttle cable support and reuse it to install the relay bracket. Plug the grey plug from the fog harness into the grey relay, black into black.




Reinstall the bottom cover on the fuse box, install the provided fuse, and you are ready to install the lights themselves.

With the bumper removed, its time to cut-out the plastic inserts. I used masking tape around the opening to help prevent scratches. I used a utility knife and a dremel tool to make nice clean cuts. Take your time with this...there are no "do-overs".



Assemble the fog light mounting brackets.



Mount brackets on bumper opening



Install the fog light housing on bumper



Next reinstall your bumper, and plug-in the power to each fog light.

All is left is to install the switch on the dash. I didn't take any pics of this because its sort-of straight forward, and its really tight laying under the steering column. I can take some pictures if people need them.

Cheers!

Thanks for transferring my write-up. Was wondering if it was lost forever!

No problem at all. I've been trying to find all of the useful stickies and DIYs from the old G7A. I got majority of it, but I am still looking around to see if there are any left.

Any chance you could take pics of the interior harness install? Thats the only thing holding me back as I cannot figure out how to get access and what exact connectors I need to mess with.  Also, I wasn't aware that you had to transfer individual wires from the pin connectors? I have the aftermarket harness and it said it was strictly plug and play.

Technically, it is.  If you're coming to Skippy's when I'm in town, I'll help you out with this.

I can try to get some pics next time I work on my car.  I don't know about the aftermarket kit but the OEM kit requires you do add wires to the existing wire plugs that go into the fuse box.

Installing the switch inside the car is very simple.  There is only 1 wire harness to run. Basically you take off your bottom dash under the steering wheel, plug the harness into the fuse box by the floor...mount a ground wire to a bolt, and attach your switch.

Bring everything, including the install instructions.  I am bringing my tools to do some electrical work.  I will install these for you if you want.

Why? The grill openings are different so the housings won't sit right. You'll have the factory openings on the outside of the fogs and make your front end look retarded. There's other reasons why I'd be against it but those were the first ones to pop into my head.

You could if you want to make it more difficult for yourself.  Why does everyone ask that question?
