Just added Hella 500 fogs to my 2002 Disco II, went like this:
I mounted (2) Hella 500 fog lights to a light bar on my front bumper (adding the light bar was a project in itself, since the bumper had to come off).
I went with fogs for two reasons: 1) My SD did not have factory fogs and 2) some driving lights are not legal in certain states unless you are off road
The Hella 500s are economy lights but I like the way they looked and the price didn't break the bank. I'm sure there are much better lights out there, but the 500s worked for me.
Wiring: I used the supplied Hella wiring harness and relay. This installed without a hitch. I wired the relay to the battery/fuse box. Then I tapped the red wire feeding the lower headlight enclosure for the parking lights. By tapping this red wire, I am able to have my fogs on with park lights only, main lights and hi beams. The other benefit of this scheme is, the fogs always go off when my lights get turned off.
Tip: When wiring your lights, make sure you pick a good ground point in advance. This may require longer wires then supplied. A bad ground can cause one or both lights to not work.
