Fog wiring is already there. its just a case of installing the fogs, plugging them in, and changing the headlight switch to one which has a front fog option.

I assume you mean front fogs? If so you will have to wire them via a fused relay & i think the headlights switch (so they operate with sidelights/headlights on), plus a secondary switch to isolate them.
If rear, then roughly same idea. to ensure light only illuminates with lights on.

Its all there. As i say install the fogs, plug them into the loom with the wiring behind, and change the headlight switch

I always forget that manufacturers now seem to put a standard loom into the cars, & all we have to do is know where to 'fish' for the wires.

Foglights, grilles, and the switch plus the bolts to secure the foglights.
