Just black and red wires. No fancy harness or anything. Just have to tap to the drl or headlight depending how you want it on.can rig a button too but more work.

Just pulled the trigger. I dislike purchasing aftermarket parts, but you cant beat the price compared to the OEM fogs.

Whoever receives them first should post pics or provide a DIY template. I believe it will benefit multiple members.

Can you take a picture of the wire ends? I don't know what you mean by tapping to the drl or headlight. I just want to avoid cutting wires.

Got em in this morning. Wire ends are black/red. Looks like well have to hardwire it to either your DRL or Headlights.

Any pictures looking directly at the fog light lens? Does this kit include a wiring harness?

I'd love to see how these match up to our OEM LED headlights. If the colors are the same.

Damn it!!! its out of stock right now.

Looks good, its not exactly the same shape as the oem Shroud but its close enough as long as its oem fitment I'll be happy.

Looks good so far from the pix! Are you planning to wire to drl? I hope it doesn't shorten the life of the bulbs vs wiring to headlight.

if we hardwire it to our DRLs, I wonder how it would affect the fog lights performance when the DRLs dim and brighten

they would turn off.

There is two wires going to the our DRLs, one is DRL wire and another is 12v Parking light. Once the DRL sees 12v parking light then it goes to DIM mode so however you wish to wire these fogs to those will not work the same way.

I'm looking to wire it to the low beams. No need to have the fogs and DRL at the same time during the day.

That's what the product seem to want you to do. If it was up to me, I'd wire it all the way to the fuse box and connect it to something that could provide the correct voltage. Then have a push button similar to the BSM button, and might as well mount it right next to it.

I hate having to splice wires. It looks messy.
