4th gen headlights where fogs go

i have been thinking about changing my foglights. Someone had a good idea of putting 4th gen headlights where the fogs should go in the grill. What all would i have to do to put these lights in there and wire them up to the fog light switch on the dash? thanks in advance for your help.

You would be better off buying aftermarket fogs. They make foglights just like the 4th gen 93-97 Camaro, if thats what you meant by 4th gen. Plus, it would be a lot easier. You may have to figure out a way to mount them but aftermarket comes with mounting hardware.

If you truely want 4th gen headlights for fogs, it will be harder. You might have to customize a mounting bracket for them.

Wiring should be easy if i am thinking right. On the camaro, doesn't one set of headlights do the brights and the other the normal lights. So should just be two wires. Make sure you hook the black wire to the black wire, and the other wire to the whatever color wire.

i think i want to do the fourth gen headlights behind a mesh grill. i can do the brackets thats not a big deal but how would i wire it up? should i just splice into the headlight wires or can i splice into the parking lights so they would stay on with the brights too.
