i take it your ls didnt come with the factory fog lights... you can either buy the other bumper with the fog light holes or just find a special place for them... or even drill a hole(wouldnt recommend)

i know there are some members that had the ls/lt bumper without the cutout grilles and mounted them behind the center grille. i dont remember the names of them but try searching or maybe someone else can find a picture or something.

It was more of an experiment more than anything else, so I didn't go nuts... Fogs were like $40 from Wally World (the beams suck, but it's alright - better quality lights would fix that). Install was pretty simple. I wired the +12V to my parking light fuse so they turn on with my parking lights and headlights (and you NEVER mistakenly run down your battery ). As far as mounting is concerned, there was one body pin on each side, so I pulled those two pins out and the holes were the exact size as the bolts, so it worked out perfectly. I didn't drill any holes or anything. I'll see if I can get some better pics soon.

some night pics would be sweet but no pressure. maybe i'll set this aside as a summer project, they'd look pretty sweet on my black balt

if you push the lever on the left forward that would be your high beams, and actually reduce your vision in fog.... no... LS's don't have fogs.
