... No, you just didn't search. I am a very helpful member.
Simple... How complicated are the other wiring systems? You need 2 wires, that's about it... Then you tap into a tail light... That doesn't seem difficult.

If you want a smart āss reply, reply, I'll check your spelling

Well I'll help point you in the right direction, but honestly just splice in the two wires from the fog light into your driver side tail light and you'll be good to go. If you want it to just come on every time you hit the brakes, (like my setup) then just tap one to ground and the other to whichever wire powers the bulb. I can't remember which color but I'm sure you could find it online somewhere

Edit: Just do what he said ^

You should read the threads; there is a ton material on this installation and various ways to set up the wiring and different lamp options. I changed out my to a duel filament blub and scoket and have it working with the lights "on" and brake. I notice that people behind me tend to stay further back when I hit the brake light, maybe they are just trying to figure out what they are seeing.

If you don't want to take time and effort then go pay someone to do it. Time, money and effort is the nature of this hobby.

I installed my fog light last weekend. It's not that difficult -- if you have issues w/ the bolts, you can drill those out. GL!
