msp foglight conversion problem
 
d'oh! my friends got me the oem fog lights for my bday - one problem, when i went to test fit, the harness on foglights had a female connector, and the harness to plug into on the car (model is 2003 ES) is also female! with out splicing the wires, what are my alternatives? i searched for the jumper harness w/ the part number from the 1st post and it looks like a $40 part that replaces the harness on both ends of the bumper.

by the way, im a firm believer that splicing and foosball is the devil so any suggestions would be helpful. thanks.

ps. what size bolts do i need to mount these fogs to the bumper? thanks again.

I hate to say it but splicing is perfectly fine assuming you do it correctly. Soldering tools are only a few bucks and with soldered lines and electrical tape or heatshirnk you have a connection better than stock.

I'd have to agree with Rod.
I changed my tails and the only way to wire it properly so that all the lights were connected and workin', was to splice!
