I really love the stock fogs.. but they cost sooo much (my car came equipped with them, but someone decided to take them off at one point).. $108.95 at Hawks PER SIDE... dear lord..

I like the bowtie foglights. They are very hard to find but I managed to get 2 pairs.

I just put the Blazers on my '92 car. I had some OEM's but couldn't get the wiring and justt sold them and went with the blazers. they are rectangular and look like OEM's. Mine sit a little deeper in the grill than the OEM's because I used the Blazer bracket but I kinda like that part. they work great and are very bright.

I have OEM's on my '86 and they work fine also. I say some fogs are better than no fogs. I just love the look.

I just went to pepboys and picked up a pair of rectangular ones for 70 bucks. They bolted right up to the stock brankets. Look nice. Same size and location as stock. I can post pics tonight if you wanna see them.

bright too.

OK. I will be home later today. I can post pics then if I can find my digital camera. I really hope I find it cuz I want to start documenting my installation of my lambo door hinges.

Oh well, if I can't find it i will tell you the company that makes them.

I might have an old pic on my computer at home.

They blow away the factory lights and Blazers in every way. They outperform your stock headlights. They are a little pricey though.

I have a set of factory ones if anybody needs them. pm me

I found a set of "driving" lights at Advanced or Discount Auto. They were only $20 and looked real good in the grill. I don't know how well they work though, since I didn't feel like wiring them and went with some wire mesh instead.

you can buy replacement builbs from the store for like $5 a piece. then all you gotta do is figure a way to mount them and wire them up.

i think im going to do this too. but im going to put them behind a mesh grill i think not sure yet... i think you can buy the whole headlight assembly from walmart. like the housing and the bulb and everything. I know i just bought all new headlights for my car from there but i dont know if they have 4th gens. thanks srdynamics1 for that idea i think im going to do that.

I think I paid $80 for them at the local car audio shop about 3 years ago. I don't have a clue what they run now. But here's another picture maybe shows a little more

they have a fog light and spot light built in to them. As well as a turn signal or whatever you want to use it for. It comes with a blue bulb but i put in a white one.

driving lights on the inside turn signal in the middle and fog lights on the outside.
