most are simple as pie. ground each foglight and the switch, wire straight from the battery using the fuse that 90% of the kits come with to the switch then run the wires to the lights from the other treminal on the switch and....vwalla.
Looks great! and love where you've put them. Biggest thing is ones that aren't too big or they won't fit. Haven't seen alero ones around but will have to start looking.
Not good to wire them direct to anything. You need to run them through a fused relay as it's unsafe to do so otherwise. If you have a lighted switch it'll definitely burn the light out in it and can get pretty hot. [did the lights not come with a relay/fuse/wireing?] If you need a hand let me know.
Usually you wire them either directly to the battery and run them independently, or tie the power to trigger them on through your front parking lights. You don't want to blow your tailight fuse or such when you're driving at night for sure!
I have an inline fuse and everything. When i said I wired them directly, I am splicing into the tail/parking light circuit. I disabled my DRLS so the lights will be on only when I want them to. Plus i like having them on all the time
I should wire in a switch but i failed at snaking the wire though the firewall.
As for the sizes: the tallest you can stick in there is 2.5 in. and you have about 4-6 inch width. The ones i got are 2.5 in by 3.5 in.
