RE: rear foglights?

["Ng, Kevin (NationsCredit)" <kevin.ng@nationscredit.com>]

I second that--there definitely was no wire "pre-installed" for the rear
fog. The hardest part for me was getting those plastic kick panels off.
Plastic tabs breaking everywhere. I just ended up stuffing the wire under
the panels rather than removing the whole bit. Wish I had a Bentley manual
at the time, would've made things a LOT easier :)
