Kouki fog lights

I have an 86' NA GXL, and I'd like to put in some JDM s5 Kouki fog lights. The lights come with the harness, I would just hook up the fogs to come on with my headlights, is this a decent idea?

Why would you want to replace your brake cooling vents? I thought they were really cool!

What he's saying is that you should upgrade to an S5 nosecap so that the fogs don't cut off flow to your brake ducts..
Good idea I'd think.

As for wiring, find a switch to put in your center console [where the factory switch snaps in] and wire them up with a fuse to the battery. The factory headlight switches are fragile things...
On that note, while you're at it, you really really need to clean all of your bulb sockets and coat them with dielectric grease [only a dollar or so at any auto parts store], this will help protect the switch from burning out. Especially important are the front turn signal bulb sockets..

I might be able to make a longer duct and reroute it. And damn, I just had my headlight switch out, replacing it xD

Either way, thanks for the input.

I have kouki bumpers inside my car (not on it... Lol). What exactly are the differences between the two? The only difference I noticed was that the kouki has flat trim where the zenkie has lines in the trim.

The kouki nosecone has wider brake duct vents to allow airflow and the foglights, different shape trim, the grill is pushed back and narrower [for a nice aggressive look ], the turn signal lenses are clear and wider, and the logo is embossed instead of a sticker.
