Hello

I recently purchased a 09 Coupe. Last week I damaged front bumper. How hard is it to take off then put a new one on ?

Thank you for the info.

While I have the bumper cover off, does anyone think adding fog lights would make sense?

Is the wiring already there and the lights just need to be installed ?

if the bumper cover is off and you dont see the wires, then you are not pre-wired and you would have to run a whole different set up. only the oem fogs will fill the holes properly. so it is up to you.

Thank you but I was wondering if anyone that has the 2.5 already tried this & if the wires were on the car already ?

From what I recall i think some guys had em and some didnt.. what you can do is easily run a dedicated wire to it, with a switch flush into the switch area (by the trunk pop) like i did with my interior leds... moreover if you wanted to get fancy you could run your headlight wires to your fogs (and they would go on independently) and then run a dedicated wire to your headlights...

I think your own wire and switch is a good idea, since that way, you can turn your fogs on without turning on your headlights, if that's legal where you live...
