I have a 1987 Iroc-Z 5.0 TPI with fog lights in the grille. Both of them just stopped working. How would I go about replacing them or checking what's the problem.

Thanks

 

Fuse...Switch...Bulbs, in that order.

 

If it's the bulbs do I only need the bulbs or the whole light?

 

Check the other stuff first. Changing the housing won't affect the lights operation either way.

If both went out together, my bet is a fuse or the switch itself.

 

I just checked the fuse that's not it, the switch to turn them on still works so I'm thinking it's the bulbs.

 

By "working"....Do you mean it "clicks"? Or have you verified voltage both into & out of it?

Depending on where you show voltage exists, it'll tell you where to start looking for the power loss.

 

The switch has a light and the light turns on

neither my high beams or low beams are on and they still don't work.

 

Just because the switch lights the little light, that doesn't mean power goes out to the fog lights.

And yeah...Hi Beams = no fog lights. But that can be "fixed"

 

Well it isn't the fuse so how do I check if the switch is giving out power?

 

Test for power at they bulb. If you don't have power there, pull the switch. See if it has power going in & going out.

Real simple...Get yourself a test light are start testing........

 

Alright I will do that when I get home and get back at you

 

Second shot in the dark: Relay.

Do you know around what area the relay is located?

 

According to Tim Burgess, "on Camaros the relay was moved from the driver's side fender to near the fuse panel under the dash sometime between '87 & '92."

They only work with the lights on, not with the lights off or the highs on. Only with city & driving lights. Well...at least that's how mine works.

 

Mine are wired straight in the power for the hi beams. I have no switch they come on when I turn regular lights on. How it should be from the factory in my opinion but hey whatca gonna do?

Get a voltmeter and test at the fog light assemble for power. If none is present then work your way back to the relay (its under the dash in 89 and up) and see if it's bad wires, bad relay, or bad connection on switch.

I'll check the lights and switch for power, then check the relay and let you guys know what happens.

Thanks a lot.

Might not get around to it til later since I work till late.

 

How do I remove the fog lights themselves?

 

ok i had the same problem the bulb on the driver side is a link for the second blub so if the driver side one goes out the the passager side is out to did u replace the blubs?

 

No I need to check if it's the bulbs. How do I remove them? I don't see any screws, only the ones to adjust the fog lights
