Post if you have a RS or non RS and what and how you want to turn on the second set of lower fog lights.

I've got an Ls so no fog light button. Here's what I had in mind.
1. Separate switch, but ut would have to look oem. No cheesy autozone switches.
2. Wire my drl / fogs to to my parking lights, always on and have the projector fogs turn when I turn my switch all the way right to come on when I manually turn on ny head lights. No drl would be awesome too.

I'm going without. You're not too far from me so maybe you will see my summit white zl1 set-up around. Let me now if you need a hand installing your bumper.

I have a RS and would like the DRLs to work as normal and a separate on/off switch for the fogs that can only be turned on when the parking lights are on.

O.K. let me try this, The absorber connects your upper and lower and holds the wires for the DRL/FOG and then sits in front of the metal bar on the front of the car.

Got the grill today but its so big and the delivery girl is off till next week.

Air bag deployment is dependant on the absorber in place Undamaged,inertia,timing and crush inhibiters WILL NOT WORK RIGHT
GET THE RIGHT ABSORBER IF YOU CHANGE TO THE ZL1 COVER
Imagine the bag going off before you start moving forward during the accident, you won't live to tell us. Same goes for delaying it.
It's like 80 bucks Buy It
