Need Tutorial (DIY) for Fog Lights

So here's the thing. My MCS didn't come with fog lights, and instead came with these two black vent covers. The passenger side one keeps popping off, and after fixing it once, it popped off again. So now I've decided to purchase this PIAA fog kit.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...3756.m14.l1318

Does anyone know if these are any good? I just installed the PIAA H7 lights on my 04 MCS and they look great. So much more brighter.

I thought about purchasing OEM fog lights and buying a new switch and added it on, but it would be too complicated for me and much more $. And I heard you have to have your ECO set for a new switch, which is too much of a hassle. I'd rather installed the PIAA fog kit. So just some questions. Again, is that kit good? ok? good enough? and how complicated is it to install? is there a tutorial around? Any help is appreciated. thanks.

P.S. Just got the idea from another post. Is there a way to rewire it, so that everytime I turn on my head lights (low beam), the fog lights would come on as well? Thanks.

I posted this on the R56 forum by accident. But i guess more opinions would be nice.

To turn them on with the low beam just move the trigger lead that feeds the relay to the low beam wire on the headlight. I tapped into the parking light wire so I can run my lights on high and low.
