fog lights

My cousin just bought a 96 formula, but it doesnt have fog lights....... Does anyone here know if its easy to put fog lights on a car that didnt come with fog lights???? is there a guide somewhere???? is there anyone that knows?

Im pretty good at fixing things and installing things, so all i need is a little direction.

can I just buy a kit from like pep boys and put it on????

I just recently did it to mine using a guide from Brent Franker's site. It takes a little work because you have to squeeze your hands in that small area to get those black covers off, and then I just cut a template on those and mounted the fog lights directly to them. Wish I could post a picture but I don't have any of mine to post.

That's the link to the page I used to do mine. It should help a little bit. I got confused by it a little because the guy says that the wiring is already there or something, but it's not difficult to figure out. Also I bought my fog lights from Wal-mart, they are kinda cheap but they look good to me.

wiring is pretty simple.. like said, it's just a bitch to try to squeeze your hand in a couple areas.. wrap the wire around a bent coat hanger.. worked for me

if you haven't figured this out, there is a thread in the appearnce section about foglights on my formula. I bought small pilot fog lights from auto zone. 19.99. the stock interior switch will be about 27 bucks if you want it. they will take some fabricating. I made brackets out of stainless to repalce the cheap plastic covers in the nose.

hey Mike... I just noticed this thread too. Is that the price you found for the switch? I think I only paid about $14 for mine. Is that from the dealer?

Fred

p.s. Here's the thread Mike was talking about.

well i paid 36 actually I noticed on GM Parts direct its 18 but theres like 10 dollars shipping. I know i got ripped off but since its a special order they wont' let me cancel without a penalty. I need to learn to shop around first.
