Well here a get started and help you wire it up ill keep it simple..
 
1. unpack pack the fog's and get the wires and what else that are in there..
 
2. now you going to have to run the wires from the hood area to inside the car and please make sure to use split loom, and groments when going thur the firewall.
 
3. your going to need to wire them up after market or go thur the pain finding all the factory plugs and relay slots in the hood area. Or you can
follow the details ill help you with.
 
4. ok last and not least you need to mount and wire up ill do my best in order to lead you simple steps.
 
ok first you need to get your hands on 1 bosch dbl poll dbl throw relay 30 to 40 amp . you can find them at any radio shack online even walmart i have gottem them there before. you going to need spilt loom, black tape, tie wraps, and some butt connectors, female spade insulated connectors that will fit on the relay u need to wire in..
 
ok here is simple wiring diagram for relay on fog..
 
LOOK ON RELAY you will see numbers 30,85,86,87,87a.....
 
ok the easiest way is to get a battery supply from the battery with a 20 amp fuse, and try and use no less then 10-12 gauage wire.
 
ok here u go ..
 
30 is to the battery all the time FUSED.
86 is to ground. chasis ground to the body or good ground spot, dont skimp make sure its clean ground connection..
85 is from the key of the ign.. this mean when u turn your key on there is 12 volts coming from this wire here.
87 is to the switch of the fog lamps switch side the off postion then the wire you ran thur the fire wall goes to the on side of the rocker or on off switch for fog lamps.. here is my email rgullocfl.rr.com if u need i can give u my number i have done all kind of electronics for over 25 years..
 
Make sure if u email me give your name and say im the one with the fog lamps.. then ill email u back and we can go from there..
 
I hope this helps your GOODLUCK & GODBLESS...

There are a lot of companies... you can just google it as car lighting customization.. you can buy it online..its best to buy it from a company in your locality.. a friend of mine lives in Ilford.. he prefers a local company something called "Autolights"... n he is very satisfied with their service.. so in my opinion it is better to contact the best company in your locality for the service.. ..
