Replacing OEM Fogs

I have an 07 FG2 coupe that came with the OEM fogs already installed and I want to change them out for yellow fogs. I've been looking at aftermarket fogs such as ones from K2 and I'm wondering if I buy these will it just be a straight plug n play? Can I just plug the new fogs in through the OEM harness or do I have to disconnect the OEM harness and plug in the new ones?

yeah i've tried the overlays but they burn too easily. you think it would be a better idea just to keep the oem ones on?

Dont stay stationary with the overlays for too long or they will melt. I've had my overlays for about 5 months with no sign of melting. Dont get the aftermarket ones, I had them for my 06 Coupe and they cracked within a month!

Just change to the yellow bulb. OEM is way better than cheap, under $200, aftermarket fog lights.
