Question Fog Light Specific Plan/Question

LEASE - I4 LE - *All mods except for tints are coming out at lease end (so consider this necessity when throwin in your 2cents)
5,000 HID headlights...
Want to add fogs.
Checked out some quotes at well known places here in BK. Installation alone will run me 120-150.
Kit and install upwards of 250+
*I really wanna make this a DIY because I am going to have to UN-DO it myself in 2 yrs.
I have done extensive searches on the exhausted fog light topic. Thing is, I just really need a PLAN and just do it, the more I search, the more unsure I get. Some people are DIY, some say, no way, have it done. With the exception of tints, I have been doing everything myself anyway.

I want to have the OEM style, because it'll blend so well with the bumper as is. Dealership costs? Cmon, I just don't wanna spend that kinda money at a d'ship.
Here is one set I have found, but only ONE reference on it in any search I've done: http://www.k2motor.com/lf-cam07goem.html

From my search results, it seems I should go with this heavy duty wire harness instead (it seems to get good reviews here)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BRAND...Q5fAccessories

It also appears to me that removing bumper to DIY is a must. Found the thread on that.

So.....am I set to do it myself with these 2 and the bumper removal/then install?
What am I missing?....advice?
DIY means I can un-do myself at lease end, saving me $$$$ in the end. Just don't want to save money and cause a fire or have shitty fogs as a trade-off.
Advice appreciated.
Thanks,
TJ
**Want to go with a switch set-up. Not wired to the steering wheel stalk etc. Just like the additonal switch instead.

You don't need to take off the bumper, just the under body. If you can put the foglights on your self you can get them wired for about $50. I put them on myself and since I had the switch and wires they charged me $50. It came out nice although it took a long time to do.

I was figuring the greater hastle would be the actual lamp/housing install with shroud/bumper removal. Did the install without bumper removal on an LE?
Any pics of final product? I don't feel too intimidated with the wiring, considering wiring comes down to a simple schematic and implementing it, just the courage to deal with electricity lol

Mounting is not hard at all no need to jack the car just get under there and unscrew the underbody. I Do recommend you get the 2 screws and fog light covers from the dealer because the ones that came with the kit didn't fit.

No I bought my kit from user GT-R since he traded in his car. He says he didn't use it though and he got it on ebay.
I would get one from ebay or maybe Paul on here he sells them. I thought wiring wouldn't be a problem but once I was there I had no idea lol.

I've been looking to do the same thing with my 07 LE I4 as well for the longest time, just haven't had the courage to actually do it.

Would like to do the switch thing like you have. Let me know how it goes, and if you could make a DIY that would be greatly appreciated.
