Default Fog-lights Installed Again!

Finally got my fog-lights installed again love the look and the ability to drive around with only fogs on. Please ignore my ashy tires as it was cold and salty!

Looks good. Did you install the OEM stalk as well or just a separate switch?

I've been wondering, does this fog light upgrade affect the car's computers OR is it just a "plug and play", like adding an HID ballast to your headlights?

They wired it up that way so it would work with just the switch turned on. The OEM foglight switch can turn the lights on and off alone as well.

Well it was cheaper this time around. Came out to be $485 if you include the stalk and the fog lights thats different cause I had it from my other car.

Seems to be plug n play with wiring it. Aside from the having to add wiring it is pretty much plug n play with OEM stalk.

Congrats on Round 2...

Can't believe they have been selling the FSport "Foglight" less since January 2012 ..!!!

Ugh I have to figure out why mine aren't working. I had the installer look at it and he said I need to replace the clip on the harness because it's loose and he'd order another one for me but he's gone ghost so I'm stuck now. Don't think my local dealership will even touch it...

Thanks. I can't believe that either since so many want it.

Do you exactly know which part of the harness that was replaced? I want to just replace it myself but I don't know which piece it even is smh.

If its the same as mine I think all you need to replace is the H11 harness part which I believe he cut and rewired.
