The two things I know about the fogs is that they will fit into the standard bumper and you can use the original headlamp switch if you remove the little clip from behind it so you can pull it out. I'm not sure if the loom is there though, even if it is you'll need to add an extra fuse/relay...could become an electrical nightmare.
Regards, Bruce.

The wiring is there for the fogs, but as Bruce says u may need a relay, you will also need the light switch.
You will also require different indicator units, the o/s indicator unit is no longer available from Ford. I was lucky enough to source one through Ford parts uk.

The front and rear work via the same switch, it just pulls out with two clicks. In other words the one switch operates park, headlights, front fog and rear fog.

I thought there was a 'c clip' on the rear of the switch stopping it being pulled out the second stop
