89 T/A Fog light Q's

I've done a search, and sort of found what I was looking for but not completely.

When I bought my car, there was no brackets or fog lights (grrr) how do these bracket thingers work, what do they look like, and what kind of wiring etc should I look for behind the bumper? I want to get some fog lights in there this summer, the holes are driving me nuts! Thanks in advance!

Come on, anyone know? Search is down right now and I'm trying to figure this out.. where should the wiring for these lights be hidden? as the car originally had them... Also how do the brackets work (I currently have none) are the ones from 85-90 the same? where do they mount (to the top of the bumper near the rad support, or bottom?) i.e. what am I all looking for at the junkyard, will I even find it? Can I get it at GM? Please guys, help!

I mite be able to help a little. I haven't looked under there in the passed 8 months. But it seem to me that the wiring is in the turn signal harness. I think the harness runs from the drives side to the pass side in the nose cone.

If no one else will help you I can check it out. Don't want to sound lazy but its colded outside!!

Wires are in the front right and left blinker bundles.The have connectrs on them however, so the connectors should still be there..One side of the connector that goes into the wiring harness for the blinkers. As far as the brackets... Hit up ebay... 82-92 firebird or trans am or fog lights...You will get a ton of hits...If I get outside i will take some pics of mine...it may help.

Yea, I hit ebay, just registered (can you believe it?) but paypal is being a pain, so I have to wait to be "validated" before I can buy anything. Going to the junkyard tomorrow to see if I can find anything, thanks a lot guys, I'm just trying to wrap my head around HOW it should work.. Mainly, do I need my original housings etc, or can I just buy the blazer ones from a local part store and have them work

You can buy the connectors on ebay also. If your interested in the stock look inside of the car. Check out ebay, car parts-firebird-interior parts. The piece you are looking for has rear defog, fog light & trunk release buttons. Or at least that whats on my 91.
