Default Need help with driving lights

Ok guys I need your expertise. I have a new Rugged Ridge XHD front bumper and I want to install the Pilot driving lights in it. My problem is I DIDN'T have the factory fog lights so therefore no wiring harness to splice into it. What and how would I go about making this happen???? Any and all help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Did the lights you buy come with wiring, a relay, and a switch? The only thing you need to tap is power for the switch.

If not goto any auto parts store and get an "accessories relay" an in line fuse, some wire and a switch. The back off the relay box will have wiring instructions

This is what I am looking at from AutoZone. Looks like it has everything needed but doesn't mention a relay and. A wondering if they will mount up because like I said earlier I didn't have original fog lights in my stock bumper

Pilot Automotive/2 pcs. 55 Watts 12 Volts halogen driving light
Price: $39.99

The light kit should have all wiring and relay, as well as a switch. Although for forty bucks its hard to say. If you can swing it, I would go with something a little better.
