    its not that simple... series one has the wiring already series 2 doesnt... youll need a switch and relay from holden and try and find a copy set of foglights on ebay cause they are about $400 for a geniune set from holden
    if its a series 2 and you dont have the wiring then its not too hard to wire up the only hard bit is getting the wire into the back of the new switch

    yes you need
    the fog light/headlight combo switch assembly
    the relay that goes in engine bay fuse box
    the foglights... should be 2 waterproof plugs cable tied to the chassis roughly where the foggies are

    my cars to low to get under and have a look but i could feel some kind of plug just behind where the fog light sits. so ill get all the stuff i need and hook it up n see wat happens. just wondering how i go about getting the black cone things out n putting the lights in.. do i need to take the bar off?

    The black cone is fixed by two clips/tabs... You just push these in whilst pushing it out and it should come out no dramas at all

    correct, actually brayden once you take the cone out. put your finger in and feel up in the top left quarter of the hole, should feel the fog light plug if you have them
