And need a guide that an idiot can follow xD

Not sure if the fogs come with any wiring but I'll ask the guy and find out! But I'f it doesn't how would I wire them up?

For the switch i was going to use just another foglight switch (like the one already in the corsa) and for the fogs use a connector for the side lights? (obviously from another car lol)

I am going to try follow this: http://www.allcorsa.co.uk/forums/showth ... 48932.html

But i just need a bit more info about it lol (not good with car wiring...) step 7 onwards im not too sure on as the switch im using is different and whats the best 'ignition live' to use?

im not sure whats best ignition live tbh, that way seems even more complicated to me, my way i didnt have to put in any relays etc.. as power ran from the wire from headlights so i just upped the fuse for the headlights

i think the guide on allcorsa is the one you should follow just wire it to the fog light switch instead on the rocker switch
If its not bodged then its not "propper"

courtesy of ze google

the solid brown on the connectors is earth and the coloured live

the switch will have 2 pins for switch and 2 pins for its illumination 1 being earth and 1 being live from side lights to illuminate it so how simple it is depends on if you want the switch to light up!
