With the oem harness, you have to insert 2 pins into one of the connectors, and thats pretty much the hardest part.

2. you dont have to run a wire thru the firewall, there is an oem wire from factory that is already ran thru the car, so you just have plug it in.
As far as the holding the harness on the bumper, when you take it off, there will be tab looking things (it looks like it shouldnt be there), but its on the bottom of the front grille. i drilled small holes so i can put a zip tie thru it and hid everything. You will know what im talking about when the bumper is off.

3. You have to remove some parts, but definitely not all the parts mentioned in the instructions.

a. Remove the plastic piece under the driver side (turn the knob in the middle and pull down)
b. remove the piece where its by your knee (no screws, just clips)
c. Remove the steering wheel coloum cover, so you can access the Stalk. (3 screws from the bottom)

Thats all i removed. Everything worked flawlessly.


Heres a tip:
Make sure you put the fuse in the fuse box, its #6 slot. I tried turning it on with no luck. I was about to pull everything apart then i realized to put the fuse in.
Ebay fogs dont come with a fuse, so you can either use the spare fuse from the fuse box under the hood, or just purchase one. Its a 20A fuse.
awesome man, thanks a lot. I'm thinkin about making this my project for next spring. I wanna know what fogs look like with HID retros tho cause I have TSX projectors...
