Usually the wiring is already there but I'd double check to make sure. you should be able to see the wires right behind where the fog lights should go.

I bought some Pilots about 6 months ago from Auto Accessories.com (I think. I need to check cause I'm at work right now). I had a hard time cutting out the area where the lights go. If your Air dam is like mine was, there are no holes there. You'll have to cut them out (dremel works ok, but melts plastic a little), which is quite the pain. After that, I took some thick rubber matting material and glued it around each light to hold them in nice and tight. As far as wiring goes, they came with their own switch and wiring harness. All I did was splice it into the wiring behind where the factory plug would go. By doing this, you can wire them to come on with the parking lights and stay on with high beams. The kit only cost me about $70 compared to $120 for the Dodge ones. Hope this helps.

If the Mopar is there it's not going to be hooked to the parking lights.. It'll be wired into the FogLight switch you pull out on your light knob to turn it on.

I bought the Pilot kit as well. I read somewhere in the forum that a guy had used a 4" holesaw to do the cut outs. I did the same thing, worked like a charm! Cleaned up the rough edges with a dremel. No problem. The wiring was a challenge, but only because I'm not terribly experienced in that area. Next purchase: Factory service manual. LOL.
