DIY Fr-s Fog lights installation help?

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Premium-2pc-Lights-13-14-Scion/dp/B00L847M6M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-1&keywords=premium+2pc+fog+lights+frs#productDetai ls"]Amazon.com: Premium 2pc Fog Lights Fit 13-14 Scion Frs Fog Lights - Yellow Lens (Wiring Kit Included) - Light bulb type H11 12V 55W.

I purchased these recently but i haven't found anything related to this set of lights.
Can anyone give me any pointers on how to install these? thanks in advance!
I'm brand new to this forum but i've been reading around lately! Added a couple of mods to my cars already thanks to this website as well! this is an informal introduction but yeah

Some help would be greatly appreciated!

These are the ones I got and I'm having the same issue because its the same wiring. I'm assuming I'll have to cut the plug off and tap into ignition power?

These are obviously winjet fog lights.

Follow this video for the closest instructions.

what i did was dispose of the wire that goes through the firewall of the car and just splice into the headlights so the FL turns on when i turn on HL which is fine with me

7:40 of spec d video... How did he get that control wire through so easily...?

Edit:
For me it was easier to route the extension wire from the cabin to the engine bay under the grommet. Rubber grommet is the only piece between engine bay and cabin... When reaching through it felt like there was some tunnel piece in between...

I know this is hella late but for future lurkers... Op's link look like winjet kit,

This helped me along with the links above:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...ITIFzKyuiZIHPA

Edit:
Went to home depot, grabbed a few stainless steel 10-24 1" bolts, 10-24 wing nuts and a couple rubber washers... Got the idea from the diode video above and the thread sizes from another post on this site.
One of the spring nuts broke on me and I wasn't sure of the screw material provided in the winjet kit I got from amazon. Was able to mount the fog lights without taking off the bumper like a few other diy fog light installs.
