I just purchased the fog lights Pilot P203W (I think), I can't find the diagrams or what I need to do (cut wire, put the new lights in) if I need to use a relay or what?

Just buy some male/female quick connectors. Cut your factory harness about 3" behind the plug for the factory lights. Crimp the male/female connectors onto the stock wiring and the Pilot wiring. This will allow you to just plug the Pilots directly into the stock wiring easily.

Mount the Pilots into the factory plastic brackets with the supplied screws. It's really as simple as that.

I took off the flat plastic cover from the bumper just below the grille. This required removing two plastic rivets. Then I could reach in there and remove the factory lights without removing the bumper.

That's already been ripped off.. lol. II have the connectors, I just wasn't sure if I needed a relay. Do I need to remove the bumper or anything? I read a guide that said the bumper needed to be taken off?

No I did not remove my bumper. I also did not use a relay. I just hardwired them directly to the stock wiring near the lights. Now I can use the factory switch just like it's stock. A few months with zero issues so far. Much better light output.

OK good, I hope to do it in next couple of days. Thanks!

This sits back about 1/2 a inch, is there anyway to fix this?

DID this about 3 months ago.

my original fog lights died after about a year. can't beat the price for the pilots, since replacements lights are $$$. wish they were tinted yellow or clear instead of blue. I don't use them much though since i put in the phillips +80 headlight bulbs. You can use a mud ring or something to fill the tiny gap but i left it as is.

I might leave it. I can't notice the blue w/the headlights on tho.
