Assuming you already have factory foglights, the installation is just like any other hid install. Remove old bulb, plug factory connector to ballast harness, hook ballast into bulb and install the hid bulb. Let me know if you have any other questions!

One more thing, most HID bulbs will be too large for the glare guard and will hit it. Here is a good guide to removing the glare guard.

I assume you already know this, but please don't be one of the idiot's on the roads with HID's in fog lights without a proper projection lens with a cut off. If you want to turn them in a similar fashion to highbeams when no oncoming traffic is there, good stuff. But otherwise please dont blind!

Yeah, I removed the guards in my 2+2, and I will NOT be doing it in the TT. Completely negates the function of the fogs. Can't see a thing in low-vis weather.
