The above pic is of my 1998 NBM Z28.

After posting pics of it MANY people have asked how I did it, what lights did I use, etc... So I am just going to put as much info as I can into this thread to hopefully help everyone out.

Here we go !


I started off looking for full foglight kits. I got one from Pepboys (a 5" size kit) that looked like crap so I took it back.

So I went to Kragen and found better looking and better sized lights (they are actually flood lights) that look like they could have come from the factory.

I like these lights the best because they have a black housing and textured glass and remind me of the First-Gen lights.

With that said here's the parts you need to do what I did:




Here's what I have, two flood lights, wiring harness, stock foglight switch (that I put blue led's in like the rest of my interior).

And the install begins... I removed the plastic grille, cut the styrofoam out with a steak knife, sprayed behind it black (my frame was blue), and drilled a hole up high on the metal so the bracket would tuck behind the bumper out of site.

TIP 1: Secure the bracket to the flood/fog light with the bolt (that mounts the bracket to the fram) already through the hole. Go ahead and tighten the nut that came with it onto the bolt to hold it in place to the bracket.

TIP 2 : I bought extra nuts and washers to put on the bracket that mounts the light to the frame. I did this because the surface that you are mounting it to is unven. If you just drill a hole, stick the bolt through and tighten the nut the lights will point up. Therefore you must space it away from the frame by putting a nut (or two) on the bolt first, then sliding it through the drilled whole and securing it with a nut (and lock washer) from the other side.






Here's another crappy pic:




Both lights in:



Here it is with the grille installed:



Now that the lights are mounted follow the instructions with the foglight wiring kit and hook them up.

I grounded the two black wires on the lights, spliced their power wires together and hooked them to the accessory wire in the foglight wiring harness.

That goes to the relay. Ground the relay, hook it to a constant 12v power source and run it's "switched" wire into your car.

I ran the wire into the car on the passenger side where the computer wires go though.

I wired it to a factory foglight switch that I mounted next to the real factory foglight switch. It draws power from the switched 12v ignition (you can plug a wire right into your fuse box).

Now that it 's all wire up, HIT THE SWITCH !



Lights on!



Finally, the beast in all it's glory!



EDIT: Here's new pics with the lights on (since the above ones are gone):

 

Good write up, very clean looking car youve got!

 

Nice write-up. They look great

 

Pretty cool, I like that idea on camaros

 

Thanks guys!

 

are those 4" or 5"?

 

Not sure but they only came in one size. The 5" foglights I tried looked to big, 4" looked to small. I think these measure like 4 1/2".

 

I've never seen that before. Looks pretty good!

 

Very unique mod, I really like it! Thumbs up man!

 

if those fogs were HD they'd look good..but BAD *** writeup for camaro drivers.

 

HD? .. like broadcast in 1080i??

i think you mean HID...

and nice way to bring back a thread over year old

 

i missed this thread the first time, so i appreciate it.
ill be doing this soon

 

One of my best mods, they definetly look like they should have been there from the factory !

 

i love it, if i wert going with a FMIC id do this

 

did you at least disconnect the factory fogs? why have 4 lights?

 

Hell no. This way, with all the lights on, the front looks complete (no outer foglights would make it look unbalanced with the headlights)

 

Can you get a pic with all the lights on? I am debating on doing this, Thanks

 

i like it. Looks REALLY nice demonbird

 

this is sweet!

 

hey there!!!i have been wanting a new grill and the one i pictured in my mind, is on your car!!! please tell me you know where you got that!!!!
