if you cant wire it to the half factory wiring (if included) you can always connect the lights up via a relay and wiring you install yourself. Most lights come with wiring instructions too.

if you find the wiring diagram for the vz fog/driving light switch (im not familar with) you can wire up the switch for use with the aftermarket wiring.

Easy as.. (well for me being a sparks) Every thing is negative switched so the hardest thing will be pulling the switch out.. I in fact bought a new switch changed over the face, mod the new board so I could use the switch for my HID driving lights. Looks nice and factory and there's no stupid Pov switch randomly stuck somewhere.

if you know what your doing its really easy.
a friend of mine did mine, wired up a relay and fuse with wires and cable tied it under my bonnet right next to the other relays (execs have a blank spot lol) and ran the wires into the headlight switch, i bought a new ss one from holden for 75$ and he knew exactly what terminal to stick it in (some arnt used in execs obviously no fogs normally). looks 100% stock and youd never know, under the bonnet all wiring is hidden so cant even tell its there.

he is east melbourne suburbs off the eastern, he does wiring, sound systems, "phreddy" dashes, aux input for blaupunkt headunits, rca pre outs, he is a great bloke, let me know if anyone wants his number, he has done everything in my car.

Haha yeah it was too hard to catch him so this guy emailed me and did it the next weekend. Let me know if you want his number, he can wait if you don't have the money or anything so no rush.

Cheers.
