If you go on YouTube, there's a parts company called 1A Auto who made a video on how to install the OEM fog lights onto a Corolla (just the physical installation, not any of the electrical because all of that's already in place for the OEM lights). The process may be similar, but if your lights don't have a connector that fits with what is on the car you'd need to do some fabricating of the electrical sort to make it work. You'll also want to make sure you have a fog light relay to install in the car and a fuse in place in the fuse box if your car doesn't have those already. You'll also need to have a switch in the car or the turn signal stalk from a car equipped with fog lights in order for then to function. Finally, you'll need to figure out a place and a way to mount them on the car since they won't have the same shape as the OEM ones that have spots in the bumper where they're meant to be installed.
To be honest, if you're not feeling very mechanically and electrically inclined, you may not want to go this route. You'd want to have a professional do the install for you. Otherwise, you can pick up a set of OEM fog lights new or used, and those will just pop right into the spots they were meant to go in.
Can you supply a picture of exactly what you have?

Yes pics please. Do you have any experience with this sort of stuff? I put some in my Camry but i did not buy the factory stalk to replace mine as it was $400.

according to the picture, there are 4 relays. i dont know where the green and the brown relay is suppose to go to which fuse box. ill need to find a way to get through the firewall as well. does this help or do you need a specific picture?
mrzingerz,
If you don't already have the lights installed I will try to help. From the looks of it I think you have the same kit I bought. You should only have 1 relay which is about the center of your pic it has an eyelet to secure it under the hood. The black thing below it is the fuse. The red wire with the eyelet to the left goes to the battery. The connectors to the far left with the off white/yellow bands go to the lights. The three wires to the right of the relay (red, black, yellow) red goes to connestent power, yellow to switched power, and black to ground. The other end has the green connector which plugs into the back of the switch which is right beside the green connector. The switch will fit into the "change holder" on the dash. I am not an expert but I know enough to get in trouble, and it took me about 4-5 hours(taking my time). Just to let you know the switch lasted about 4 months before it stopped working. I did find out that a switch from a scion will fit and wires up just has easy. If you go to http://www.oznium.com/scion-switch-led , and you can pick Blue, Red, Green, and Amber LED. Hope this helps.

koolbreeze25,
so the relay and the fuse in the middle does not connect to anywhere? and where does the brown piece connect to (under dash fuse box)? what is the connestent power? how do you get your wires through the firewall?
mrzingerz,
Constent power is that no matter if the the key is on or off there will be power to that wire. Switched power is the key has to be in on position to have power. Ground can be anywhere metal part of the car. Now I am going from memory so bare with me. The one end of the fuse has the eyelet which goes to the + side of the battery. The black wire goes to ground(anyplace where you can secure it to the metal part of the car). The relay needs to be mounted anywhere under the hood. Now to the switch,the wires with the green connector. The red wire with the brown clip will go to a free space in the fuse box under the dash that has constent power. The yellow goes to switched power, I just tapped into the power port just above the shifter. The black goes ground. Now the iffy part, there should be another wire from the green connector, it connects to the yellow from the relay, you can run it through the fire wall where the wires from the fuse block are. Take out the coin holder from the dash. Fish the green connector from the back and plug it into the switch and push it into the slot. Hope this helps. I will try to help if you have anymore questions.
