If you haven't got your lights yet, check these out from Harbor Freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/automot...hts-37349.html

I used them and they look great.

Those look great and a good price. I just replaced my headlights and turn signals with a crystal clear kit but the kit didn't include the fog lights so that's for the heads up.

You need the entire headlight harness from a 90-92 Z28 if you want a factory clean install and to do it without hacking.

I do have one to sell if you are interested pm me.

Re: adding in fog lights on my RS

I'm working to install the fog lamos with my 92 Camaro RS. the beauty of the 91 an 92 models is they already have the underdash pre-assembled. All you need to install is the fog light switch, the 20 Amp fuse and the relay. You need to buy the underhood retro-fog lighting wiring harness and you can buy a brand new wiring on eBay from the vendore named TPI Parts and they cost around $60.00. It comes with a brand new, factory spec wiring and instructions and diagrams on how to install it. Is very easy, it took me less than an hour to install them. On the body part, you need to replace the ramscoops the are located between the grill bezel and the forward radiator cover. I installed the underdash and underhood parts and I bought LED lights from www.superbrightleds.com and the work perfectly operational. Always keep in mind that you might need to buy new hardware (screws and clips) to install those components.

Re: adding in fog lights on my RS

I completed installing factory original fog lamps on my 92 Camaro several months ago. The lamps work excellent and it improves the look of my car. I deceide to remove the LEDs and used the original blulbs because they were too dim. What I need to complete is what kind of screws are used to attach the bezel in the center pillar to complete the project.

Re: adding in fog lights on my RS

I was at LKQ and thought to myself, that is one sweet Iroc with it's fog lights calling my name. So I pulled the harness intact, switch (two prong), and the relay. Ok so here is my question. What wire goes where? Off an 86 Iroc and on to an 85 Z28 (my car does not have the connections under the dash already, I have to run them)

This is what I do know:
1. Purple wire from Fogs run to the Switch.
2. Red wire from relay goes to constant power (wired it to the red power wire going to the head light switch).
3. 2 black wires come from the fogs, grounds I am assuming?

Here is what I don't know:
1. Where does the brown wire from the relay go? Switch?
2. Where does the green and brown wires with a male weather pack connection go? Bright lights?
3. How do I tie them to my parking lights so the fogs will come on with the PL?
4. How do I make them go off with the high beams?

I looked at tons of diagrams (my brain does not like them). Would love for someone to just tell me point blank where each wire goes.

Thanks yall
