To replace the front headlights with a version that includes fog lights, you need to modify part of the bodywork. Use a hacksaw to cut the excess sheet metal to accommodate the new lighting assembly.

The cut should be made on both the upper and lower parts of the housing. Also modify the wiring harness to power the two added fog lights.

This job requires good manual skills and knowledge of the electrical system. Once the headlights are installed, have the proper tools check the correct position of the light output.
