I have the car listed above ltz model new body. I want to install external driving lights on the grille. I know it came with bright fog lights but I do a lot of driving at night on very dark roads would feel safer with those on. Any way you can tell me how to do it step by step? The company I think is either Hella or Pilot.

The link above is a picture of the ones I purchased.

I have the wiring diagram and instructions the issue is that I am very confused as to what to do. this is my first install I was wondering if there is a way of simplifying what has to be done?

Just to keep this simple. You can mount these where you would like with the supplied hardware. Then you will have two options.

First, wire them in with the supplied on/off switch. This means you can simply use any power (12 volt) supply wire in the area and the same with a ground wire and then run the switch wire into the vehicle and mount the switch in a convenient place.

If you then want to wire them into the fog light so that they turn on when the fog lights turn on as well. This could be good as it doesn't have another switch and operates off the fog lamp switch. However, you will not be able to have just the fog lamps or these on one at a time.

If you chose this option, simply locate the purple wire going to the fog lamps and wire both the power wire and switch wire of the new lamps into this wire. Then wire the ground to the supplied ground or any other available ground.

Let me know if there are questions. Thanks
