Default Adding fog lights

Alright, so those little cheap things they put in the ls bumpers instead of actual fog lights? Yah, well, one fell out on me (hit a bird) and the other is pretty close.. Just wondering what were some suggestions on fog lights I should put in there and where I would get them. Also, if anyone knows exactly how and where I can wire them up, that would be appreciated as well.

i got the original fog lights and brackets from an ss monte, they didn't program the original switch to work with the ecu tho so i wired mine to a rocker switch, you may want to do the same, the fog lights will be hard to find so you may be better off with just putting a normal fog light kit from any store, just measure to make sure they'll fit, and theres a bumper support behind the cover that you can mount the aftermarket to pretty easily

Mogwog, your lucky to have those now haha. I just looked at them and now ill have to pay double for them! But I guess it will do. So how does the bracket mount on my bumper? There is quite a lot more there than I imagined. And I will most likely wire them into an aux fuse and have a rocker switch for them.

It took me a minute to figure it out, but there's a small piece coming from the side of the bumper that the clip attaches to. Then if you look at the hole in the bumper where the fogs go, you'll see a hole. You just pop a screw through that and it will go into the hole on the assembly. Then the long arm just rests on the bumper to keep it straight. I tried going from the bottom of the bumper but it's a lot easier to just remove the headlight. It's two clips that hold the housing on and a harness on the back. The passenger side one is harder to get inside with because there's a couple things in the way but with some care you can get around it all.
