I just bought the left and right fog lights (driving lights) new from Chevrolet for my 1986 IROCZ restoration.
Part# 5974579 $75.75 ea
Patr# 5974580 $75.75 ea
I know of no other source for these OE lights.
New 3rdgen parts are disappearing quickly. So I decided to go ahead and get them while I still can.
Thanx,ANDYZ28

You can always go to Walmart like I did, and get a set of Blazer brand foglamps. They are 99.99% like the originals...if you had them on your car, unless you took them off and compared them to the factory type, you wouldnt be able to tell the difference. I believe they have both clear(white ones), and also ones with a glazed glass outer part, which shine a brilliant yellow..the ones currently on my TA. However, if the IROC fog lamps are different than the TA's(i am not sure), then disreguard this message. Also disreguard this message if you are looking for original parts.

I did the same thing as Phantom. For the 85-90 Trans Ams, the blazer lights look identical. In fact, you can just take the reflective thingie and the glass lense and replace those into your stock housing. In my case the stock housing was shot, so I had to custom fabricate a mount for those Blazer lights, which was a major hassle, and isn't really possible without removing the bumper cover.
As for the IROC lights... well, that's tough. They're pretty unique. In my case the problem was that my trim rings rusted away. I was lucky to find some used ones from a board member.

I have a 91 GTA. THis is the 1st year for the new front end. I think the Camaro lights are different. What do the ones at Pepboys look like?
Hmmm, the 91-2 have that new sleek front end and is loaded with different lights than my 87's, so the ones I was talking about are prolly too small. However, my advice still stands. Go to Sears even and look at the various sized lights (yours are square, right?) and you'll also prolly have to make brackets like I did, but it's not too hard, just time consuming (running back and forth to Ace hardware). Just shop around.
