Fog lights came in today!

Post by Pudntain »

Got the grilles from gmpartsdirect, part numbers are on a thread here somewhere. The trick is where to get the lights. GM wanted 90+ each without wiring. Did some research, there are a lot, a lot of toyotas that use the same light. Found a set with wiring for a 08 camry for $52. The grilles and lights are in, but run out of daylight before I could start wiring. Will wire them to a switch on the panel to the left of the steering column. Will tie them in to the parking lights so they will only function when parking lights are on, but also will be able to turn them off during the day. Only got pick of one side before it got dark, will post before and after.

That looks great, I wouldn't mind doing that to mine. Where did you pick up the set for $52?

Pudntain - how did you access the old grille blanks? Do you have to drop the cover that runs below the bumper cover?

Unless your model of Vibe had extra plastic down there.You can reach up from under the bumper and push the tabs in and push forward and it will begin to pop out. There are 5 I believe, havn't had mine off in a while but I recall them being stubborn... The wiring is neatly tied up right there as well.

There is a cover, three bolt/screws, drops down from the front, I think it goes up and is part of the wheel well cover too. Then reach in and release the five tabs.

cool! You know you probably shouldn't need that wiring though. Vibes come pre wired for the fogs so you should just be able to plug them in. Then you just gotta figure out how to hook up that dash switch. Theres a thread about it on here I think the Speedeng guy did it
