if you're buying an OEM kit you should have to cut anything, the fog light holes are just covered by inserts that i believe pop out. I had projector fog lamps for a while but had to drill a few holes in the bottom of the mount area, which was stupid.

To insert the fog lights, you will have a little bit of a problem there because of diameter issues...just shove until they're in, and then position them to where the screw holes line up with the mounts behind the bumper. You will have 2 screws per side, and once you're done with that all you have to do is the wiring, which I believe will already be there.

mine didnt pop out. i took the bumper right off, its only 6 torques screws and used a demel and the holes look clean. and for the actual lights i just bought a pair of OEM's off ebay. and with that bumper out of there the lights went right it and running the wires was simple. when its gets nicer out i can get some pics of it for ya if you want

Picks would be nice. Taking the bumper off is a great idea since it has only 6 fasteners, Thanks.

I've had my eye on the ones with the switch on EBAY but was not sure if they were correct. Thanks
