Need Help with OEM fogs on a cabrio!!!

I am trying to install OEM fogs on my 06 Cabrio. I was told that it was prewired and the research here aslo confirmed that. I can not find the harness anywhere. I have removed the bumper cover and still no luck. Suggestions?

Thanks...

My wife and I have one '06 Cabrio, and another one enroute. Both have the factory driving lights (the round chrome ones that mount to the bonnet, in front of the grille). I'm fairly certain that the cars are *not* pre-wired for the lights. If they were, the dealers wouldn't be charging what they do to install them. Also, if you look at the technical bulletin for installing the lights, there's a lot of wiring that has to be routed, you have to mount the switch in the knee bolster, etcetera. Definitely not just a matter of riveting the lights to the bonnet and plugging them in.

Now, if you're talking about the little lights down at the bottom of the front bumper, then I don't know. I thought all of the MINI's came with those lights already.

The little ones at the bottom are the ones.

Rear fog is pre-wired, but front fogs never are.

I retrofitted the front fogs on my '06 MCC. There is no prewiring and it is a fairly difficult installation. There is discussion in this thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=33918
