I did this on old Mustang a while back. It was just the matter of moving one wire on the fog light switch which was on the center console. Was thinking of doing on my G at some point. Shouldn't be too hard, but with the wiring on these cars, I wouldn't want to promise anything. Especially with the fog on and off on the MFS (Mutli Function Switch).

Actually read some of the posts. Very complicated on the G. Best off spending $50 for the KP Technologies module and then wire it in. Takes a lot of the guess work out. I may order the module.

Hey Staskz,

I wired my fogs. I tapped the circuit that the '08 OEM fogs use (the ones located on the "inside" portion of the headlight assembly). It wasn't hard, but the one caveat I have is that I switched it all to LED. My lower fogs are amber mini-projector LEDs, and my headlight fogs and city lights are also amber. IMHO it adds a little bit of distinction/sedan flavor to the coupe

Also, I can turn my fogs on and off with the stalk-mounted switch, but my headlights need to be on. I just drive around with my headlights on because bay area drivers tend to be fairly retarded, and I've had fewer incidents of a s sholes trying to merge into my lowered, IP colored G.

Apparently its the seats, wheels, stiffer suspension, more aggressive exhaust and big brakes. I am not 100% on the exhaust but my neighbor has a Journey coupe and my S sounds way better under acceleration.

Welcome to the site...no clue on meets yet. We all have weird schedules apparently

So true. Just got back from a week of training down at Ft. Hunter-Liggett. And this is why we can't have nice... meets.
