Default Fog lights

I have the 05 LS and I kno it has the spot for the fog lights.. Just wondering if anyone has added them and how much it ran you to do it.

I put fog lights on my 04 LS. Bought some fog lights online, ran the wiring and installed a switch and relay. Took 2-3 hours and less than $100. I did have to make brackets to hold them, which required metal bending and welding knowledge.

What make and model do you have? Part number if available.

All that I remember is that they are 2.5 or 3"" pilot automotive brand. All I use from the kit was the light itself. I used my own wiring and switch and made brackets. I will get a measurement today on the light.

I added factory ones to my 2000. I bought them off a member on here - did have to fix the drivers side bracket a bit first. I just spliced them into the low beams so they come on at night with the auto headlights (legally fog lights have to turn off when the high beams come on) plus with high beam DRLs, I didn't want them on 24/7, nor did I want to wire up a switch.

I also added factory ones because the factory hole is oval, everything else just looks weird.

If I'm not mistaken your monte (2003) requires (9006⁄HB4) or (9005⁄HB3)
