Default easy

all you have to do is grave the power from the light you want to run it from,and your ground is even easyer,just put it to the bolt with a eye terminal,all is cheaper from harbor freight.

You could run 2 wires from the plug under the front bumper that your stock lights plugged into back up to you new lights.

I just mounted a pair of pro comp 55's on my front bumper, they light the ground covering about 25-30 ft. in front of the vehicle. I can see their use for making the ground more visible during night time wheeling. Don't know how effective they would be mounted up high. Sorry to be a technical *** but I believe they are only fog lights if they have an amber lens, the normal ones are driving lights, that's what the box says anyway, lol! Or maybe you do have amber lens, I have the driving lights......

If they are fog lights, I would mount them on the bumper. If you got a set of driving lights mount them higher on the vehicle like on the pillars. Just my $0.02
