Give it a bit of time. We're a world wide forum. Someone will have some advice eventually.
My FD came with the factory option fog lights as part of the cruise control option. I reckon the wiring would be there. But you might need to source a stalk somewhere.

BTW, why do you want fog lights?
Fog thick enough to warrant them is a rarity in Qld. Unless you're around Toowoomba I guess.

They are handy daytime driving lights for dark coloured cars. Thought about it for wife's SX for four years. :winker:
My guess is that the loom will be the same in all models. Just add fuses , another light stalk, an indicator in the cluster, 2 fog lamps and two bumper escutcheons . Easy and it may work.  :D

I actually like the look of them. I think they dress the front of the FD up a bit.

@I30lamb You could try a wreckers yard for all the necessary parts as listed by Gary (nzenigma)

Yeah winter is coming up and i tent to still be driving during in the dark and dusk early morning so i would use the fog lights and parkers at an alternative to bright headlights. Because who likes bright headlights in their rear view mirror at 5am lol

Just be aware that Queensland, like the other states, has a law against the use of fog lights unless you are in fog. I do agree the FD looks better with them in the bumper than just the blanks.

The wiring probably wont have plugs attached, will be nearby, cut and taped back on the loom. So go to the wrecker for the lights plugs and RELAY. its #9 in the fuse box under the hood. Will be same type as others there.

On the stalk, terminals 2 &3 are used.

No, it just clips into the same socket on the column.
Remembered you wont want the escutcheons for the FD. Only GD model.
You may be lucky and find that light plugs are still on the wires.
A wrecker may do a better deal than ebay on all the parts.
