But, you can't wire them the same. They don't plug into the wire harness in the engine bay. You have to actually put them through the gromet into the car and wire them to the switch. Next time remember that cheaper isn't allways better.

I already have the OEM instructions! Like silverdevil said, they are not the same. Was hoping to hear from someone who has installed the OEM STYLE lights.

Here's what I need help with, for anyone who has installed the OEM STYLE LIGHTS from procarparts.com
Everything is connected except the 4 wire connector that is taped to the wires that go to the switch. Where does this get plugged into?!? The switch itself lights up, but the lights do not come on.

It has to be the relay. All foglights are pretty much wired the same way, with exceptions of course. Check out this setup as an example.
