Default Fitting/Install of Driving/Fog lights

Thinking to fit driving/fog lights to my STI, checked behind the covers and the mounts are there and wiring and plugs, assume these are for the lamps?
Where does the interior switch go? And is ther need for additional relays?
So the parts list:
Driving/fog lights
Interior light switch
Relay?

Where do I get the above parts list and has anyone got this on here?

People who do this generally find that the relay is missing.

And if it's foglights you want to fit, don't waste your money, they are useless.

Now DRIVING lights........they are another matter.......

Driving lights it will be then
Is there a write up on how to do this, fitting the lights will be simple just to know where the wiring for the switch is inside the car and relay location.

Anyone got a set of driving lamps for sale?

I'm presuming you have a Bugeye by your avatar. On my Blobeye STi, if you pull off the frontfog blanking plate, the wiring is already there. You can get a switch from a scrappy. You'll need a relay, but the wiring should all be there...

Cheers, got the interior switch and need the part number of the relay and location of where in the car? I assume it will be by the fuse box?

I think so, but mine's a classic, it's relays are in the underbonnet fusebox.

In any case, it's a standard four terminal on/off jobby, around £2, or £12 from a Scoob dealer, LOL

Greetings all! Does anyone have step by step instructions with pics on how to install fob lamps? I've got bug eye headlamps and covers at the FOGs.
