So I'm trying to install OEM fog lights into my LT. Here are the parts I have (along with wiring).... Now sure how this is supposed to work, do i have everything I need?







Are there any how to's? Any help would be awesome, I'll be back online in about 2 hours, thanks!!!!

 

your bumper is missing something....the part that the fog light attachs to...i cant find a pic tho

 

Yea there is deff a bigger plastic piece that is suppose to be on your bumper, where the fog light should screw onto. Maybe an inch or two in depth and about the same size as the black round plastic on your fog light.

I had my bumper off to install a CAI last week and took the whole unit out instead of just the bulbs the first time.


Maybe I'm wrong though, I assume you tried to screw it on to the plastic piece shown in the very bottom pic.

 

Your bumper does not have the brackets where the headlights mount to, you need to make a custom bracket or get another bumper.

 

Damn... that's not really what I wanted to hear... well I guess I got my work cut out for me then.

 

lol u dont have to make anything, u can get those from gm.

 

whoever sold you the inserts (if it was not gm) did not include the piece that goes inside the bumper which the fog lights mount to. Call gm or a parts supplier.

 

any idea what that part is called?

(thanks btw)

 

im honestly not sure, but seriously tho, i would just order a set from GM or a parts supplier, it should come with it.....also...call your dealer as well, see if u can take a look at a stock on on the lot show them the part u need and u should be able to get it.

 

Well... GMpartsdirect doesn't have a catalog up anymore and crateenginedepot doesn't have them either. Got any other suggestions?


I would go through my local chevy dealer but those guys are no good... last time I ordered a part from then they got the wrong one, for the wrong car and wouldn't let me return it even though the part on the order slip wasn't the one they gave me.

 

Somethings missing..

I'm pulling my headlight out right now, I can see if theres some sort of part number.

 

your bumper is different than his.



that pic looks as tho something has been broken or cut out of the bumper.

 

It better not be, i got this car brand new with 8 miles on it lol.

 

hold on amin, i have this bumper in mu basement...ill take a pic of that part to show u what it should look like.

 

Dude, believe me you need another bumper.
You can't just buy those plastics, those are built in the bumper.

Check this link, and see the difference between the bumper with fogs and the one without fogs.

uploading now...yours is defiantly different

 

yah that was my bad, i didnt realize that til i looked at the bumper in my basement. uploading pics now.

 

I can't be wrong, I work remanufacturing bumpers.

 

haha nice, this one is remanufctured to. So is my ss bumper.

 

Yep, it's definitely part of the bumper.

 

Well... damn, I guess I'm beat. That was a waste of $200 bucks, I'm gonna try and build some brackets or something before I give up.

Thanks guys.

 

I just got a remanufactured ss kit

 

there was a guy who did what you are now trying to do already. I brought the thread back from the dead maybe a week ago. I believe it was under appearance. But just search for ls/lt bumper fogs. You'll be able to find it.

 

Did that guy actually finish it up? I found the tread (i think) but he was just starting the project himself.
this is the thread I found

 

You're not going to be able to do it without the new bumper, at least in the stock locations.

A bracket would be next to impossible, there's nothing in the vicinity to bolt anything to. Not to mention the bumper needs to be able to flex a little and any bracket you'll make will be solid which will probably lead to either really deeply recessed fogs or stress cracks from the wind.
