No just plug the wiring harness in pretty much. You have to mount the ballast and what not but it is just plug and play. I also did the foglight mod to be able to leave the fogs on with the high beams

I put a dab of silicone on the ballast and stuck them under the hood latch, in front of the washer fluid reservoir

honestly your best bet is to get a set of LT1 fog lights and swap the mounts over, the only metal housing glass lenses fog lights in the right size I know of uses an H3c (compact H3) and there is no H3c HID bulb only H3.
