The information below documents the procedure I used to install the Hella Micro DE fog lamps on Saab 92-X.
Disclaimer: This information is provided as a reference and the author assumes no responsibility for any damage that may result from this modification to your car.
1. Prep: I started by purchasing the stock Subaru Fog Lamp Relay and Fog Lamp Switch. Since the car is pre-wired for the factory fog lamps, this allows you to use the existing wiring for the installation of the Hella fog lamps.
The part numbers for the parts are: The Fog Lamp Relay is B48 in the diagram below and is the 3rd relay from the bottom. The location will be the only one empty. The Fog Lamp switch is connected to B160, which will be right behind the switch location. By removing the change holder, I was able to install the relay and switch, and plug the connector into the back of the switch without removing the lower dash panel, but it requires some patience.

Installation Procedure:
1. Remove the PLASTIC BUMPER FASCIA mounted to the bottom of the front bumper. For the Avalanche, remove the entire plastic bumper. Disconnect the fog lamp electrical harnesses prior to removing the bumper. Note: The airfoil/bumper will need to be permanently removed or notched to accommodate the undercarriage assembly.
2. Remove and discard the three bolts that secure each tow hook to the truck frame. The tow hooks should remain in the same position.
3. Align the undercarriage mount pockets (at each end of the PUSH BEAM WELDMENT) with the tow hook mounting brackets on the vehicle. Note: Use a floor jack to help facilitate the installation procedure.
