Adding foglights.

Okay. I have an 06 LT2. I have the Gen2 Halo lights and I love them, but they are a ***** to adjust and i cant get them to really throw light out far, so since i have hte pop in grills in the bumper of my car, I've been considering foglights.

How hard would it be / how much would i need to fab and wire, to add foglights to a car that didnt have them, and put them in the lower grills?

If you already have fog lights you can splice into the line easy. I replaced my stocks with Piaa's and used all the stock wires. Just unpluged the stock bulbs and put male connectors on the ends of the wires coming from the piaa's and pluged them into the stock connector.

If you don't have stock fog lights 99% of aftermarket ones come with all the wires, switches, and relays you will need. You just have to find a 12volt, a switched 12 volt and a ground.

The hardest part was mounting them. Theres not much back there that isn't painted body work to mount them to. (I wanted to be able to take them off without having any visable damage to the car, if I so wished to do) Find a good mounting location before you start ripping things apart....trust me its for the better

Yea, I don't have them right now, and I'd like to get a set of PIAA's or something to try to mount to look stock......

Equinox fogs are the same unit depending on the year.
