Default F-Sport Fog Light Installation!

Ok so got the pictures today and it's a lot of them so this thread will be big and I will try my best to narrate this out. I gotta give thanks to Safi at AVI Boston for doing this work, as I was the first GS F-Sport they have done. If anyone wants the shop number or info please PM me for it. Also from the looks of the pics it really isn't how to wire the fogs he told me that they taped into the headlights and made a connection to the black wire within the wiring for lighting.






















OMG so many pics still working on it.

Here is the last step, I hope this helped in some way, I don't think they had the chance to take pics of the wiring as it was done in one day and was when I left it from the morning, so they were trying to rush it for me.

Yeah, He said going the OEM way takes a little more time because they have to connect it to the OEM stalk. This is probably why most people go the secondary switch method. The Wiring has to be made for the fog lights as there isn't any.

WOW! Good Lord, what a process. I knew the steering wheel had to be removed, but the amount of work to do just that seems intimidating.

Thank you for posting the pics....gives everyone an idea of the process involved.

That's a lot of work but most clean installs are like that.
