yes you can, the wiring is already there on the front side of the radiator, passenger side, and the wire colors are: Red with Yellow stripe.
The mounting holes are also there, under the front bumper.
Then you have to remove the "C" clip on the headlamp switch's Stem, so that you can push the knob IN to activate the fog or spot lights, whatever type you install. (pull the knob to remove the C clip). (NOTE: some knobs may have a set screw, look around the knob before pulling).
The only caveat is that the car is wired so that when you push the knob (position #3), the headlamps will automatically go off. Jaguar designed it that way for the USA. There is a way around it but it entails replacing the lights switch with a European switch, an expensive solution but it allows every possible combination of lighting. I did it in my car and I would not go back.
