Great, thanks!

Update: I figured I would remove the old dummy lens in anticipation of receiving the new one. Holy crap! You guys weren't kidding about those bolts! There was no removing them with a ratchet. I ended up using a combination to techniques I picked up on this (and the other) foglight install thread. I used a dremmel to get one nut off, and ended up melting the plastic on the other, pulling the bolt right through (I'm sure I can cover the hole with a large washer). All this took me over an hour. Ridiculous!

I have the factory harness/plug on my 2009. Not sure what to do with that...

Anyway, I put the old lens back in (put a long sheetroack screw in throught the bottom hole for the black metal backing plate) so it doesn't look stupid.

The tips on this thread have been very, very helpful!
