Fog lights

Hello, I currently don't have fog lights, but am thinking of buying the OEM ones, and putting them on my car. Anyone done this? Is it as easy as removing the front bumper and unscrewing the black plastic things and placing the fog lights in their place? I'm aware the lights won't work without a ton of electrical work, but just wondering if anyone has done this who didn't have fog lights to begin with. thanks.

EDIT: OHHHH almost forgot, if you did do this project, where did you buy your lights? Mazda quoted me $350 for the OEM lights, anyone know where I can get em for less?

I wouldn't need the wiring. I want to lights for looks only. Let me know if you want to sell yous, as I would be more than willing to buy.

P.S. Going out of town for a few days, so might take a while for me to get back to you.

lol, having a set of lights just for looks? well... not to obsene, i haven't used it mroe than twice so far.... its illegal to use it when theres no fog, bad weather conditions, which rarely happen in western australia.

Take my word for it, the car looks empty without fog lights there, it's a huge black hole...no thanks. This might as well be like adding a front air dam or side skirts, it adds a lot of aesthetics to the car IMO.

I was in the same position U are.....Installing the fogs is EASY....theres a step by step instuction page on this site with PICS and all@!!!!

The bear is installing the turn signal lever....
I ordered the one from the dealer...but have yet to install it as I think U have to take off the steering wheel.....I 'm a bit scared to do that without any instruction....
