Didn't know where to post this topic, so thought I'd start here. I've got 99 hatch and just recently bought a set of foglights.. came with no instructions whatsoever..

My question is how do you mount the damn thing? I was gonna take it to the auto electrician, but they quoted $250. That's to cut out my bumper, mount and wire it up.. I'm willing to cut my own bumper, I just need some idea on how to mount, and I might get the electrician's to wire it.. need help..

Thanks in advance!:D

not 100% sure if they work for your foggies but u can always check it out.
you should also search up on google man, ive seen some writeups there aswell.
im pretty sure the wiring should already be in, (just plug and play) for my install i just had to locate the fog light wire within the engine compartment and then wire up the switch inside the cabin. hope it helps.

I cut my own hole - from small to big, then i transposed the design from one side to the other side.

I dead bolted them onto the bumper. I got creative!

And I got a mate to help me with wiring.

I'll check out them links for sure!.. it's just the mounting which confuses me.. "cut this, screw that, affix this, level that.."..

LoL! Dead bolting doesn't sound like a bad idea.. I was thinking about using super glue!!

I pretty much did it all by myself but used the above link to find out how the brackets mount other than that it was pretty easy.

yeh its sweet cos the wirings already there waiting so no stupid feeding through the firewall like i had to do for my amp wiring..
for my fogs it came with mounting brackets and plates but mine were 96-98 foggies.. different.
ynot try dead bolting & super glue combo! hahaha.
yeh the link i gave gives you some help with the mounting part etc.
hope it all goes well! show us some pics when its done!
