Default Front fog light help!!!

As title, got a my99 with fog light covers on the front instead of foglights, took covers off & can't seem to see the wiring, do all my99 turbo's have front fog's? It has a fog light switch on the dash.

Also are they easy to fit assuming I can find the wiring?

Thanks in advance

Remove one of your front indicators and trace back the wire, somewhere along there will be a branch with the fog connections on, providing the previous owner has't chopped em off

Nope it branches off the indicator wire, about 6 inches back. The sidelight wire is nowhere near. If you remove the indicator and pull the cable through the hole, the fog lamp plug and cable will come through with the indicator wire!

Because I bought it with cheap grp fog light covers and they are black plastic on a blue car, I can get a set of fogs for £20/30 so it's a lot cheaper than the paintequites I have had, shocking for 2 small prices of plastic!!! It's a cosmetic thing really.

Try it first, if you bodge it, it's only cost you the paint and you can still get the, (hate to say it), foglights

Its easy to do. What colour is your car?
Another option would be to have them wrapped in carbon vinyl??
