they can easily be cut out to fit foglights. Mine didnt come with fogs
either. I found a set at walmart of all places and they were about $25 and
are just a hair smaller than the stock lights. I actually used a hole saw
(find the center first) to cut the holes a little smaller than the light and
used a file (bastard cut, of course) till the lights fit in snug. wiring
was a piece of cake. i set mine up to only come on when the parking lights
or headlights are on. IT also came with a switch that i mounted on the
bottom of the dash by my knees so i can either have them on or off. pretty
simple afternoon project to put it all together.
