I wanted to install a nice set of fogs, but when I tried drilling it didn't go to well I tried drilling in the front grille since I was getting a new one soon anyway, thought it would be good practice! Did anyone use double sided tape? Think it will hold an average size fog light through the season's?

 

if u want to go the tape route, they make an auto body tape that is used for body kits sometimes but i would recommend doing some sort of custom install on them...jsut practice making cuts and stuff...i mean hell u already said the front clip was ruined...use it to full advantage as for the style... of aftermarkets...i dont like any of them...they look *****..or all the ones i can find look that way. i would prolly get factory ones and then do a custom install if i didn't have the proper place for them

 

I run PIAA 1000X Platinum Super White driving lights. I love em. But for now they (and the grille insert) are removed while I swap in a L98 and update the front clip to 91-92 style (and repaint the car).



I highly recommend them but the color of the light does not match the stock lights. If you want to match then I recommend you upgrade the headlamps to H4 with PIAA bulbs. Super Whites look sweet!

 

"Crazy Hawaiian", did you drill or tape the fogs? How did you do it?

 

I have a Z28 grill on my RS with Piaa 1500 driving lights. I had to make my own brackets from 1/2 inch metal strips that I got from Ace. Best fitting light for the camaro in my opinion.

 

i drilled while the front clip was removed. held strong over 100 mph multiple times. i wouldnt tape them.

 

I have the Factory foglights in my 1991 Z28.....but with after market Xenon bulbs.....I like the looks of the factory foglights myself...

 

I used a 25.00 replacement set that I got at Advanced Parts, it comes with everything youneed, even if you didnt have the lights to begin with. All I used were the glass housings and the bulbs, I kept the plastic housings and the switch to use for something else. Oh, and they also come in Blue!

 

84,

Do you remember what the part number of the xenons you used. Also, where did you pick them up (I've used xenons in the interior of my car and have been favorably impressed).

what i did, I went out and bought some kc highlights daylighters or something like that. they are about the same size as the stock headlights. anyway i took out the grill, and i made a bracket to mount them to. with them set in as far as they are it looks pretty nice actually. and then when you turn them on you can see 1/4 mile down the road pretty damn well.

Well....I ordered my Xenons from a place on the internet....they ended up costing my like $20.00 a bulb!! which was pretty expensive.......I can't remember the place I ordered them from.....so...you might go to a search engine and try to find some.....also..I'll TRY to find the receipt to give you the exact place I ordered them from.

 

I use the "PILOT" brand #PL-1055C 55 WATTS/15 AMPS and I made the bracketts and mounted them within the impact absorber
and the materials were basic grounding rods used for everything automotive and its sold through all automotive stores as well and yes I did slightly cut my nose to gain a proper fit and look!

 

Me too. Nothing looks more out of place to me than round fog lights on a Camaro. It just doesn't fit the lines of the car at all. I spent the weekend helping DiecastZ28 wire his IROC fog lights that he just bought for his Z28. I whipped up a schematic so that they work just like the stock 86+ fogs... on with the parking lamps and low beams only. For those that are interrested in wiring them this way instead of just right from a switch, I'll have a tech article on the IROC Homepage within a day or 2.

 

walmart has a set that look similar to the stock ones for 20 bucks. i think they are called blazers or something like that

 

Those blazer lights are extremely similar to the Trans Am lights, but are nothing at all like the stock IROC lights.
