DIY OEM Fog Light Install - Base model Fit
After recently scooping up some OE fogs for a great price, I figured I would take some pictures of the install as I went along. Overall it took me about 2 hours. I took my time and didn't encounter any real trouble.
First things first. Remove the front bumper. This is pretty straightforward as there are 4 clips right above the grille to remove and 4 screws and about 5 clips on the underside of the bumper to remove. After that the bumper just pulls off.
The fog light kit should include the templates you'll need to use for cutting the bumper. As you'll see, there is some drilling and cutting involved here to get them to fit.
There is a plug tucked up in the driver's side fender well that you'll need to find. This plugs into the foglight harness at the bumper. It is secured with blue tape, so, it should be relatively easy to spot. Here's what it looks like.
After you get the bumper cut and get them mounted, the tough part is over. All you have to do them is plug them into their harness and reinstall the bumper.
It can be a challenge sometimes working with the harnesses at the fuse panel. I had a few extra in there to fight around because I added the keyless to my base model after purchasing it.
I'm very happy with them and the way they look. I will probably be covering them with yellow lamin-x film here in the next week or so to distinguish their light pattern and protect them from rocks and road debris.
If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to help.

Thanks!
The only thing I wish is that the fog lights could be turned on with just the parking lights. The low beams have to be on in order for the fogs to be turned on.

BUt congratulations to you for knowing what a Search function does.

The weather should be clear the next few days here...so, I'll find some nice scenery and get some distant shots.

fyi, if by chance someone doesnt have the template to cut the hole with, behind the bumper there is a slight out line of the shape your suppose to cut. this also goes for the typeS front lip.
