I won't tell you to STFF, but this is all the instructions I will give you. Remove the pins under the front bumper, pull out the black plastic piece under the fog lights and reach in.

If you get a kit that works with the bulb out feature, you will just need bulbs and balasts, otherwise you will need resistors too.

you'r going to need to take off the plastic piece cover under the hood/front tire area...after taking those plastic piece off...you can just connect the wires together and that's all.
