If you don’t mind could go through the process of the install? I’m hoping it’s plug and play? Thanks
Sorry, but I didn't get any photos of the process, but here is a quick overview of the install:

Shout out to one of my best friend that did the install. He does this for a living and hooked me up.
Physical install:
1. Remove the mounting screws on the front half of the under carriage protector/wind deflector. It will drop down and give you access to behind the front lower grill.
2. Cut the plastic insert in the lower corner of the grill. I cut the entire insert out cause the lights plus mounting hardware I got fit perfectly in there. I cut it out with a Dremel. The lights fit really snug in the ~1.75" opening.
3. My lights came with two sets of mounting hardware. One set for a flush mount and one set for a higher mount. I used the hardware for the higher mount and pointed them straight back towards the radiator. There are brackets that the bumper mounts on that the hardware can be attached to. We had to get creative on the drivers side and use of zip ties
Electrical hookup (my apologies for not knowing the technical terms):
1. Connected the black wire around the same bolt that the battery was grounded to the car frame (near the battery and fuse box)
2. Connected the red wire to a post in the fuse box. This post supplies power to the use box. We wanted to tap into one of the fuses and tried to use an "add a circuit" fuse connector, but it didn't fit. The "add a circuit uses mini-fuses and the fuses in the fuse box looked like mini-fuses, but the prongs were really close. The goal was to have it where the power is cut to the fog lights when the car is turned off. I have it wired so that there is constant power to the fog lights so I have to make sure I turn them off through the toggle switch inside the car. I didn't tap them into the head lights due to fear of voiding any warranty.
3. Connected the leads to the fog lights
4. Poked a small hole through the firewall and fed the toggle switch wire through.
5. Mounted the toggle switch just below the fuse box by the driver's foot because it was the easiest place to mount it. Most of the area around the fuse box has a metal plate behind the plastic. It turned out that I like it down there because the toggle switch is illuminated when the lights are on and it would've been really bright at night if it was higher up.
6. Zip tied and electrical taped everything so it is nice and neat.
The lights fit so tight in the lower part of the grill that you can't really adjust the aim of the beam. Good thing that are really low on the car that it does a good job of illuminating the ground in front of the car. I've driven a few nights so far and no one has flashed me yet!
