If you find the wires in the bumper, let me know. I'm pretty sure if I wire up some fogs the OEM piece I have should work, so it'll pretty much be stock.

So how do the fogs fasten to the bumper i have em on my SS N.A. and i was hoping i could off set the fogs back some with washers or somthing so i could get some decent air flow past the passangers side one.

Nice how-to! I've been thinking about getting an SS front clip for a while and this write-up will definitely help with the fog lights.

I paid about,, 600 painted,, bought it on the dealer,, and painted it at a local shop, and install it myself.. but you can get it at CED..

and yes the fogs were press on,, it was a press / plugh / and play

You dont need to do all that.....removing the fuse box? wtf? all i did was run 4 wires 2 on each side. i disconnected both my headlights and cut the black wire which is your groiund on both sides....then i spliced a wire on there and ran it to the fog light....then i cut the beige wire with the white stripe which is ur low beam power.....again i spliced a wire into that and ran it down to my fog light. and there u have power and a ground to both your fog lights...so now when ever ur lights are on auto.....your fog lamps will come on with ur low beam headlights.....its that easy.....none of the remove the fuse box stuff.....just thought i would let u guys know of an easier way......4 wires and 2 splices thats all it took
