I don't know how far that wiring goes, it certainly is a teaser to see 
the connector just hanging there, though.

The trouble is the reflector bar itself.  I "opened up" a spare/junk one 
once to see how this would work, and as I recall, the inside of the red 
plastic is painted silver and the inside of the "reflector" for the fog 
light is not silvered.  On a US reflector bar, that is.  In other words, 
cutting a hole for the bulb is the least of your worries, you'd have to 
remove that silver paint and also figure out a way to create a reflector 
behind the bulb.
