There are instructions on here, including mine about a year ago, if you do a search.

Briefly:

1) You need to find the previous threads.
2) Yes. And to fit them so you can easily get to them from the front in future you need a 30mm cone drill to drill a hole big enough for the lamp mount nut to pass through the bumper behind.
3) You must not wire them through the foglamp switch unless it is just an override to switch them off when you want to. They have to be wired through the main beam circuit so they only come on with main beam. If they are on all the time you can be done for them, particularly if you blind someone and cause an accident.
4) In view of 3) above, all wiring is under the bonnet.
5) If they still do not include one in the kit, wire a 20a in-line fuse into the main feed.

Would go into more detail now, but early start (up at 4:30 ) tomorrow.......

Joe,

I have been thinking about buying the PIAA lights myself. I would be interested to see the results when you have fitted them. I am currently living in Wadebridge.

Cheers

Rob.
