I thought it was a case of a) buy the fogs as spares from TLO b) cut big holes in the bumper from the back of the already marked out plastic c) find the fog wire cable & connect it up?
There's a fair few on here that have already done it & if you search, you shoudl find some relevant posts Bodsys Brake Bible

...and buy and fit a replacement dash switch - you need the extra button to turn them on
This is a picture of a switch which DOESN'T do front fogs (like yours I assume) - you can only pull the knob out by one notch
One that does do Front Fogs has a second 'fog lamp' picture on it and the knob can be pulled out by one or two notches

Tony, its easy as to do it.
First thing woul dbe to remove your bumper and have a check for the connector and then give The Large One a PM and ask him for the bits required, incl. the switch and you'll have it done in no time.
on the inside of the bumper the mould is there for where to cut etc so once you stay within the line you wont make a nags of it.
As Bodsy said, have a search around and you'll find the instructions.
Good luckA happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

Agree with Tanters, it is an easy upgrade and took me around 2 hours (most of that spent removing and re-fitting the bumper cover). If you don't fancy it yourself I'm pretty sure Iain (10forcash) can quote you to do it.2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto
You might find it's more economical to buy a bumper off ebay or salvage with the lamps already fitted. I managed to get a brand new one, and have it sprayed the right colour, for less than the cost of the lamps and wiring.Previously:

Fitting front fog lamps is very much like making love to a beautiful women. First, you need to knock her bumpers off, have a poke around to see if she's suitably equipped, then it's time to get your tool out. A little care and attention and you should have her holes ready and waiting for you to drop your lamp in and switch her on.
I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I worry about you Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
And I'm worried that you worry about me Steve. There are far more important things to worry about out there, like where Iran is, so we can bomb it. And... and...
Ok, I'm only the second most important thing you should be worrying about I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
I think Martin will get upset when his forum descends into the level of Gizmodo and Fark; the banhammer will swing when 4chan is reached.
OT: time for a beer before Kent contract starts? There's a big development in West Malling that perhaps you could charm the sales office to let you crash in during the week.Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
Already in Kent, land of the gangmaster. And I have just handed over the first month's rent for a half share in a house in Coxheath
But the idea of a beer/cider and a natter appeals immensely. You around this weekend?I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
Hmmm, small problem with next weekend. Tell you what, give me a bell tomorrow afternoon when I'm sat in traffic on the M25 and we'll see what we can sort out I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
