just a question...are the foglights your getting come with the switch to place on the dash? if so...i'm pretty sure your panel doesn't have that hole to place the switch there and was wondering how you would or where you would place them?

i'm planning to get a set myself...just interested in your setup...let me know how it goes...thanks!

don't hook up the fogs to the OEM hook up

hook them to a permanent power source

What's your reason for hiding the switch? Just curious...

I got the 9006 bulb one off ebay and its the ****. And i changed it out to the Silverstars and i think they are brighter then the 9007 bulbs in the headlights. See for yourself. And also when i recieved them it came with a replacement piece to have the switch next to the side mirror controls but it was the Yellow wood color and i have the black wood dash, so i placed it next to the dimmer controls and it looks OEM... I love it, the only thing was they took to long to ship it, but after everything it looks so stock i fools the dealers unless they figure out that the ES did not come with them...
