Pretty sure your wiring will be there. You will need the proper switch which should plug into the connector which is behind the headlight switch but you might need to search for it. As lumina01 said, the plugs for the lamps will be behind the bumper, either side of the radiator. You can see them from under the car.

you will also need to buy the relay and fuse for the fuse box under the bonnet on the drivers side

So basically if the wiring is already under the front bumper it means I should also have the connector in the dash?

And all I would need is just put a fuse and plug in a relay to get them crankin'?

That's right, but you will also need a switch.

Yes, that's the one I mean. It should be very easy to set up.

fuse is already there - but just above your battery there is another fuse box which houses your major relays - hope these pics help!

Relays are about $3 or something like that from MOST good auto retailers - I got mine from my local Holden joint.
