ok here we go....
here is what i started with DEPO brand round foglight kit bought at the local swap meet for only $20.00

97 EK coupe before fog lights....


first i started off by removing the 7 upper retaining screws..


next remove the 2 screws located under the fenderwell..


then remove the 2 lower 10mm bolts that hold the bumper to the chasis...


once those bolts have been removed pry the bumper off the vehicle...


now its time for some cutting...
before..


after....this is where what i needed to remove..

after cutting...
backside..

front side..


after cutting i bolted up the fog light bracket to the appropriate spots on the bumper..
front side..


back side..



next i chose this spot where the main harness is to locate the relay....


i then ran the harness that connects to both the battery and relay through this hole located under the stock air intake box...

after that i then decided to connect the ground cable by the driver side headlight....

i then ran the other part of the harness through the same first hole but on the driver side...


now onto the harness under the dashboard...

there are 3 screws that need to be removed...
screw #1

screw #2

screw #3

i then ran the power cable through this plug here located under the clutch master cylinder in the engine bay...
dash side...


engine bay side..


after running the power cable i connected the the plug in the #5 slot on the fuse box...

i then ran the ground wire for the under dash harness onto this spot here located at the end of the dashboard...


almost done now. just neatly tuck all the wires into a safe spot...make sure to leave enough room for the sunroof/power window switches....

now re-install the lower dash cover, making sure to pull out enough wires so that you are later able to connect the fog light switch and push it back in...

u are now done. just re-install the front bumper and bolt up the fog lights and plug them into the harness....



now some night time lit up pics...







And thats all now u just have to wait till its darker out and aim the lights appropiately.
