Fog lights finally wired up!!

Fog lights finally wired up!!
Yep got my foglights in Friday and got them partially wired up before I left to go fishing, and I got them finally finished today. I'll post pictures of what they look like at night possibly tomorrow night. They are Pilot 55 watt 7 color halo ring halogens with H1 bulbs and simulated HID. I took a night drive a few minutes ago and its amazing how much of a difference it makes! I changed the bulbs immediately to cool blues (brilliant white). Now I can see everything!
I mounted them where the old ones were (where the tow hooks should be). You should have seen the directions! step one through five was a walkthrough of mounting them, step six said simply"wire them with harness provided", and step seven said "aim them"....WTF (how do you wire them)? I figured it out though, but I have to go back and re-solder a couple of places where I had to extend the wire because itwasn't long enought to reach the switch, (my white and green colorswill not come on.)
The halos look awesome too, even though when I turn them on, I have to hit the button six times to get to white! LOL. I'll fix that too... I'll wire all the lines (blue,red,green,yellow) together and make white!
Like I said I'll post pictures tomorrow or Tuesdayof the finished product...
EDIT***
I said I would get pictures soon, but I will have to put it on hold for now because my two button switch just fried... I'll have to go back to autozone or call Pilot automotive to get a new switch.

Nice looks good, glad you got the switch fixed. Those are real bright, I am eventually going to get some fog lights, maybe I will get some to go there since the ones I have don't quite fit. How did you mount them to the bumper (screws, rivets, or 3M double sided foam tape, etc.)? Also how hard was it to wire up to the switch in the cab? Looking good though I like the halos, since they go with the halos in the headlights.

I pendant-mounted them using standard 3/4'zip-in screws (without drilling).
They were very easy to wire up. I had to lengthen the harness(I doubt it would have fitted, evenin a Civic) by 3 feet and then lengthen the control wires that go to the switch. Just follow the directions. I plan on moving the switch to the empty 4x4 control panel insted of using the existing place (comes out at the lower left corner of the dash panel). I ran the wires through the grommited holeunder the carpet in the passenger footspace. The relay is screwed to the HVAC fan box and everything is wired properly.
