adding fog lights question

I bought the following from Rock Auto thinking I could add fog lights to my 2011 ...
When I got them, they are way smaller than the blank out inserts, and look like they need some kind of housing ? sorry, but I haven't figured out how to post pix yet :)
Can somebody please tell me what I need ?

TYC Part # 19585500 {#10335108, GM2593157} Includes Bulb & Socket
Category: Fog / Driving Lamp Assembly


Thanks in advance!

IF they are like the factory ones, they will snap into place in the opening.

Just trim out the center portion of the insert and find a way to mount the new lights in them (I used epoxy). Then they will simply snap back into the front facia.

I know your new lights are not what I used, but the idea should be similar.

I made mine work like this....

I've heard you have to reprogram a computer to have the lower set of lights. Is that true and why? I figure you just plug them in and fo'git 'bout it!

I connected mine using a relay...and tapped on at the side marker. ANY time my running (parking) lights are on, the fogs are on. Regardless of high/low beam.
