IIRC They will physically fit, but as their driving lights and not fog lights you need to rewire them to come on with the main beam only & have them linked to the fog switch as a override.

Check out threads about wiring PIAA's - there basically the same wiring.

Question

Why did you bttt it?

P1 lights are DRIVING lights, they will plug straight in, but will be illegal, only working when you switch them on from the foglight switch, and off again at the same place.

DRIVING lights, must, by law, be wired so as to extinguish when dip beam is selected, and only come on with main beam.

OK, you COULD use them like foglights, switched by you, but you risk a pull, , and you risk an accident scrabbling to switch them off when you have to dip suddenly.
