if you plan to pay an extra premium about 7k for the MGA fogs, I think its paying too much. There are very many ways where you can make the money go into a baleno. In case you want real good fog lamps, then it has to be Hella's.
Beware: Chennai is flooded with fake Hella's from reading light,fog lamps and what have you; are all sold in yellow/blue Hella wrappers.
Anyways, The warranty should not be an issue at all as there will be a seperate wiring,relay and switch on the dashboard. I had it done from a maruti dealor when i brought the car in January 06. I paid Rs 5000 for MGA central clock (to avoid wire cutting) and a pair of Taiwanese fog lamps. I think the Central locking is about 4k, So the fogs should cost you Rs.1000-1500 Max.
Also take note to do the install during late evening or night to be able to get the right throw that you want. in my case I had the fogs throw a tad on the sides and not straight to give me more allround visibility on low beams.
