I have a 1.2 active obviously with no spotlights i like them though, so is it possible to have them fitted afterwards?
Is this simple or costly? (for example best for me would be the wiring to allready be their:D)
Any help is much apreciated.

i think mine has the wiring already there. theres a little yellow plug on each side just above the fog light holes.

Do you reckon i could get it done by fiat? or a garage? or what as i couldnt do it myself. will it be less then £150 lights are about £80 and £70 is more then reasonable to get them fitted isnt it?
 
I dont know whether Fiat would take it on, your best bet would be to grab the yellow pages and look under car lighting or something along those lines and phone around.

Smally.....The fog lights do make it look a lot better.....I think the great thing about getting a Fiat place to fit them...or at least get a price quote.....is that they really know the car and know it's electrical system and what's connected to the main computer.
They'll do a better, neater, more reliable job......all depends on price but as long as it's not too much more it's worth getting them to do it.
 
my active didnt have the wiring i wired them myself using T's guide and a bit of common :D

the easyest way to DIY is to use something like the Ring wireless relay set up but a proper relay is easy enough to do if you have the time

its also worth noting that the fogs dont come with the fixing screws (m6 thread) and my Active doesn't have the wiring harness so i made my own up and all the connections and relay are in a little waterproof box tucked up behind the radiator

best idea is to ring your dealer i think. i thought about having them done but then i would want them on all the time and last i did that in my old car i got fined!

Thanx all will ring dealer in the mornin its £125 as an "optional" with a new car so not holdin out for my £150 budget:(
 
You can fit the lights yourself..if your confident even fit the switch,whatever you can do leaves less for garage/auto electrician to do thus saving bit of cash.

I reckon your looking at 2 hours labour at dealer.
