1. The GSI fog light loom, is it wired into the main headlight loom? Best way to wire them up, Ill have the whole GSI loom to play with, bar the engine loom.
2. How do you remove the GSI skirts from the clips?
3. Can the skirts be fitted without cutting down the arches, or do they have to be cut down?

1. I believe that it is part of the headlight loom so you will have to change and replace the lot of that if you want it to be a factory job (i looked at it and it looked a right pain in the arse!
2. Not sure 
3. You will have to cut down your standard arches to fit the skirts as the arches sit just over the the l-piece on the back and just over where the skirt turns up on the front.

1. I am 99% certain it is, I can check tomorrow if needs be?
2. The skirts will 'slide off' if you push them forwards with the hockey stick sections off. Once the skirts are off the white plastic retention clips slide off easily as well, on the ones that are held in place by rusty pegs/rivets you may need to use a drift and a mild tap from a hammer as they are too tight for fingers.
3. Cut down the arches. The front wings also need one of the clips fitting each side.
