I got them from halfords and the kit to, all together about £35 i think.
Erm it wasnt to hard, just gotta make sure its all earthed, the hardest thing was getting the spanner into the small spaces lol.
Just gotta make sure its all level too if your cutting your grill out,

Did you wire them in to your sidelights?
And are yours sunk into the grille or sitting on the face of the grlle?

Yeah i wired them into the side lights, the kit you get from halfords helps you do it.
And yeah i sunk them into the grill.

are they driving lights or actual fog lights,
if they are proper fogs and they come on with the sidelights will be an mot fail, and stopped by every police car everware lol

looks nice tho a must do mod for any corsa i say (since only the GSI had front fogs)
should have written a guide on how to fit with pics i dare say alot of corsa owners will want them :)

Tehy are actual fog lights yeah, but they are on there own switch, just they are wired into the side lights.
Like i can have the side lights on, and not the fogs if you get me, just to get the fogs on the head lights also have to be on.

I went to s scrap yard are for a front fog switch and took the cap out where the switch should be if it was a GSI.
So it now has a real GM front fog switch.

And yeah i realised after i had done it, i should of done a guide lol, but thanks anyway mate :)

ah thats ok then aslong as you have a switch, oh and you also need to have somthing inside the car, that you can see that shows the front fogs are on
if you have the switch from a GSI wire it to that as it should light up when you oush it

Its up to you mate, but the GSI has holes in for the fogs like the corsa GSI so your going to have to cut hole either way?
Photoshop it first to see what its like?
