If your car is prior to '97 then those are not "fog lights" but cornering lights.
The "cool oval" OEM fog lights are 400-450 for a pair and re-wiring is needed to convert the turn signal induced cornering wiring to head light related fog lights.

Agreed... I have a '92. The shape is the same until '97??? Correct? The OP appears to be a '96 so no re-wiring required.....

OP as an answer to your origional question... depends on the year of your car.
92-94 Wiring is needed to use them as fog lights or else they act as turn signals instead of the steady on look.
95-96 No wiring needed, just replace that bumper, plug in the lights & go.

Everyone's still to-date ignorance on this subject makes me wanna puke.
1992-1994 = 1157 bulb (I think) and are cornering lights. When you turn on your blinker, that corresponding cornering light will turn on. Think of a stone-aged idea of intersecting lights.
1995-1996 = the master year. easiest to convert down to 92-94 or 97-00 with the right parts. The fogs are H3 bulb and you CAN use them on the 97+ fogs. It's just that the twist cap on the 95-96 harness is smaller than the 97-00. which means you might get water splashed up from under into the fog light.
round oval ones "cool" you guys crack me up...
