The car is prewired for the OEM ones. But the car needs software downloaded for them to work. You also need to ad the foglight switch or only cover to the bottom of the switch next to the rear fog light switch.

The cover you can buy from the Dealer I think it is less than $10.00 if it is the cover only. Try to pop the cover off your blank panel next to the rear fog light switch and see if the switch is under there.
I have seen that site but never saved it.

Cool! the switch is already there. I just thought of something else, You told me the car is prewired does that include the wire that connects the passenger side light to the driver side light then goes into one wire? Know whatI mean? I cant look for my self yet becauseI have to wait until an open shop day in my auto tech. class.
Thanks!

The wires are attached to the front bumper cover to a plastic dummy spot. You would take them off the bumper then attach them to the lights.
But you would also have to install a relay and a fuse then have the software installed.

What about on an 850?
I went to the junk yard and was playing with some of the stuff for the 850's.
When you pop off the rear fog switch there are three wires, so you could use that as a standard fog switch if you go aftermarket.
I will use aftermarket fogs, but I'd like them to work with the legal high beam off law, so I don't have to switch all the time.
