Fog light install parts list.
Was wondering if anyone has a parts list for what is needed to install fog lights on an 06 monte LS that has never had them installed before.
My plan is to wire them up independently of the factory wiring harness and use a switch to turn them on and off. Therefore, not a lot of help needed as to making it look factory from the switch. That's a project for down the road (maybe). Just would like to know if anyone has done this and what parts did you buy to install them in the holes where the plastic louvers? are. When I get to doing this ( maybe next week?) I'll post pictures of my process in order to help others. Thanks. |
I have an 04, and I'd be interested in knowing how to do this as well. It annoys me that I have a spot for fog lights, with no fog lights.

Nice write up. For an '04. I have an '06 though. Appreciate you replying though. Might help another '04 owner. I hope my write up is as complete. I should have my parts this weekend. Will give it a go then. I hope. I just hope I have all the parts I need. I bought the fog lights and an aftermarket fog light wiring harness and the connectors for the lights. Hope that's all I'll need.

Just an update. Got the parts today. Missing one crucial part it seems.
Still need the cover for the lights in order to hold them securely in place. This is the part: COVER - GM (15776171) This is what it looks like: COVER | Genuine GM | 15776171 Expensive. Puts a crimp in my plans but I guess I'll have to be patient. *UPDATE: Decided to order part from Rock Auto. Different part number but this is it: GM1038163 Seems this part is the number for an '06 - '08 Buick Lucerne. Same part as the '06 - '07 Monte Carlo though so no worries. List so far:
Here is the album link: Car Repair Slideshow by sportz97 | Photobucket Will update when I get the other parts and get them installed. Update. Got them installed. Funny how they just barely fit in the holes. Oh well, nothing a little weld it glue couldn't fix. :thumbsup: |
I'd hate to break it to you but they don't sell the insert thing single for the ls model. It's the actual bumper, you would have to mod your bumper itself meaning cut it up and splice wires to do it. The wire part isn't hard but for the fogs to stay In you would have to drill holes etc...I did it for my ls, and the fogs wouldn't sit in right so I took them out. You could buy a ss bumper and paint it, they are interchangeable. I would recommend buying a impala ss bumper though more aid flow and more room for modding.

I got the original wire harness for the lights and to the block from a u pull now I am wondering where would the relays are for the head lights and fog lights. I cant find where the relays would be for those three It is not in the usual place. I have every thing in but cant find where the relay for the fog lights be at on my 07. that harness has the fan wires connected to it. which I also needed to fix so it is a win win now trying to find that relay cant find it |
