Default 2 questions!!

First, my car is a 01Z, it did not come with factory foglights, can i and should i put foglights in the car? would it be a pain in the ass? What would be required? Second, What would be the benefit of me doing a 12bolt as compared to a 9inch, im doing a rear end over the winter, just want to know what i should do? Pro's and con's to each rear end, i daily drive the car in summer, it will sit in winter, its gonna get a cam,lifters,retainers, ported stock TB, 100shot and full edit this winter, and the rear end, just want to know what rear end would be better for my future setup. Thanks guys!

Fog lights wouldn't be hard but you'd probably have to take the bumper off. The way I've always known is that 9 inch = M6 and 12 bolt = A4. Could be wrong tho

Yes you can add them. i have a foglight switch and a pair of foglights/brackets.

12 bolt is lighter than a 9" and supposedly more efficient.

For a auto you cant really go wrong with either rear. I do know there are issues with I believe the Moser 12 bolts tq arm mounting bolts. The factory 10bolt and 9 inch use the 2 long thru bolts to mount the tq arm to the rear. The 12 uses 4 small screw in style bolts that have a tendency of backing out. See the link
