LS Fog Light Question

[Toastylicious]

I was wondering if you ordered stock fog lamps from the dealer are they pretty much plug and play or do you have to do extra wiring to get them working in the LS bumper? I read another post of a guy that installed fog lamps in his LS, but they weren't OEM and he had to wire an on/off switch next to his head light controlls and I really don't want to do that. Thanks for the help.

The lights are controlled through the BCM, so if the veh didn't come with fog light the dealer can't enable them as of right now. We have a open case with GM on enabling fog lights but haven't heard back from them yet. So the answer is no, you can't just order stock parts and expect them to work. The fuse for the fog lights is in the fuse box and theres and "internal" relay in the fuse box but the BCM will not send out a signal to the relay unless that option can be turned on.

GM just released a PI on this issue. Here is a copy/paste of it.

I like my car better without fog lights. Less hassle and the black plugs complement my stripes and rims.

When I had them in my Celica, fog lights just meant I had an extra light bulb to change ahead of annual inspections.

GM still doesn't have an approved fog lamp kit that can be installed on Camaros not originally equipped with that feature.
