adding fog lights
I would like to add some oem fog lights to my car as it did not come with them. Is the car pre-wired for fogs? anyone ever add stock fogs. any idea what they would cost?

if u have small hands, u can reach all the stuff thru the under tray.
but of course, it will be a lot easier if the bumper is off. Not like its hard to take the bumper off anyway.
oh how to take it off u ask? hmm.
pop the hood, there is a thin piece of plastic right by the bumper thats secured by like hmm I think 6-7 plastic fasteners. take them all off, slide the plastic piece out. there are 2 bolts on each side (10mm I believe) to hold the bumpers(4 in total, of course). take them out, keep it safe. go to ur side marker, take both side markers out, each secured by 1 bolt, use a phillips screw driver. Take it off. Jack the car up. take all the bolts underneath off that are attached to the bumper, I think theres like 10 or 12 of them. after that, u should be able to lift and slide the whole bumper out.
this will be ur first time, so take ur time. dont rush.
Im so used to this process that it takes me 15 minutes to take the bumper off, I tried to rush 1 time and it took me 7 something minutes to take it off.

Well my lights came today. pretty easy to put them in. it sucks that you have to remove the bumper to change the bulbs though. it seems like it may be a bit of a pain in the *** th adjust them though. i guess I will find out tonight. they look great! I got the blue tinted ones. the kit came with a big blank out piece for the right side of the car. I was like what the hell that will block the oil cooler. then I thought about it and it hit me. its for the early 8's with only one oil cooler. DUH!
