Default Yeah, yeah... more eBay fog light questions

So - I purchased my eBay fog light kit, and received it in a box labeled "WINJET Automotive Lamps," in case anybody bought the same kit as me.

Anyhow -- I haven't tried to even start the install yet, because I want to get a better understanding of all the wiring, as well as the actual fog installation. What is the best way to get the plastic vents cut/popped out from my bumper in order to put these fogs in their place? In all of these DIYs, everyone says "the actual fog light placement is self-explanatory." But I want to make sure I'm doing it right and don't mess up anything...

My second question is, would I be better off wiring this kit to my "parking" lights, or going out and purchasing an OEM Honda Fog light switch and installing that?

It seems like people have a lot of luck with wiring it to the parking lights, which I am fine with; I just want more help with how to successfully do this.

Any information is helpful; thanks!

Knife? So... a razor would work just fine?

I wasn't sure if I'd need to pull out the dremel or not?

Thanks

Scroll down to fog lights and pick your trim level for install instructions.
