Would it be possible to take the wiring from my friends 206 (that he's written off) and use it to wire in fog lights on mine that didn't originally come with them. If so how would I go about it?

Are you sure the wires aren't already there on yours?

mine's a preplexed y reg 1.4 lx and it didnt come with fogs on so I'm presuming the wires won't be there.
I've got the new stalk how would I go about updating the BSI/ how much should I expect to have to pay for it?

Buy a wiring kit from Halfords and use that to wire in the fogs.
That way you wont have to remove the wires from your friends car and find a fuse box with the right fuse connections and you don't have to update the BSi.
Thats what I have done to mine with this kit>>> www.halfords.com/webap...yId_165688

Yeah I was just gonna get the wires off his to avoid having to spend on a wiring kit but I figure it'd cost more to update the BSI than to buy one of those kits though, so thanks.
Is it easy to wire them up and where have you put the switch?

its lot of hassle for something hardly used, best thing you could do it cut the connectors off your mates car 
basicly used a kit above (all but i made my own) with a separate switch in car, (they would probably be away to wire it up to your stalk but i used separate switch, )
i had mine also wired up to full beam for bit of extra light

It was a little tricky to get the wire from the engine to the dash but I used the hole I drilled for the amplifier power cable.
I bought a different headlight adjuster trim (from scrappy) which had a blank 'hole' and put the switch there.
The BSi update will cost you at least and hours labour from Peugeot and you would have to buy an under bonnet fuse box which has the front fog fuse available.
I looked at the cost of doing it the OEM way and its just too expensive..
All in all parts for the wiring kit, trim and switch (the kit comes with a switch but I wanted a push button not rocker switch) cost me £15ish
Hope you find a solution..

Ahh cheers I think I'll go for that then.
Alternatively can't remember where I saw it but I remember someone wired them into the DRLs.
Is this plausible cause the DRLs are just little LED's and I'm guessing the fog lights require more power than those? If so would it just be a case of stripping some of the of the two wires for the DRLs and running a positive and negative wire from each to the corresponding terminals on the fogs?

Use the connectors and run your own wires to the stalk, you don't need the fuse box, just use your own fuse
