Smile Actually, same five more bucks

They have it for $184 under 2002 accessories, but only $179 under 2003. They should be exactly the same thing.

Sorry to bring up an old topic, just wondering if you got any pics of the install.

The kit comes with a very comprehensive set of instructions. It even details how to remove the front bumper.
Just noticed this part. Do you have to remove the bumper, or does that just make it easier?

you can pop out the small black covers by reaching behind them under the bumper.

The wiring is already there from the factory. See, they prewire everything in so that there aren't a ton of different wiring set ups for the car. All that has to be included in the kit is the switch and the lights and bulbs. The wiring is already present, and it places the switch down left of the coinholder left of the steering wheel. I did this weeks ago, and am very satisfied with the result. I have a DX as well, but I had the dealership do it, because 25 bucks for them to do it is nothing but a small amount for peace of mind that it is installed correctly.

On a related note, has anyone switched the stock (P5 in my case) foglights so that they will illuminate when the parking lights are on rather than the low beams? I've been in situations where using both together produced a "white out" from snow, but the fogs alone would have been great.

It came with the fog lights housing, a wire that runs in the bumper and connects to a clip under the passenger headlight, the switch, and a white connector that plugs somewhere under teh steering wheel. Im not sure what that white connector does, it's probably just the circuit to run the fogs.

Thats pretty much it, although there must have been something that connect the switch to the car, its been a while. The instructions were idiot proof... so thats why I dont remember much of it. Let me know if you need more details.

Sorry yeah one more thing, the white harness that goes under the steering wheel, did that connect to the switch or was just some random white harness. I'm currently taking my fog lights out i just want to make sure i get all the peices so i can sell them, i have the fog lights out, the harness under the bumper and the switch. The harness for the switch was green and the rest of the green harness part is hardwired into the car, so i think i'm looking for the white harness now? If u can just give a lil bit more on where the white harness was put that whould help alot, thanks man.
