I just got some HID fogs from corvettehid.com for my '88 and went to try and hook everything up but got a lil lost. lol
Just to be clear these are for the inner lights which are kinda hard to get to? I took the stock bulb out which connected to another plug. The plug doesnt look like the one that came with the directions they sent me. I have done a search but could still use a tip in the right direction.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, those are the fog light bulbs. They are plug and play - well almost! What you have to do is remove the old bulbs. You will see that there is a plastic mounting bracket that holds your current bulb. There is a foam 'washer' you remove from the mount so you can get the wire underneath. It is 20+- years old so be gentle with the foam or you are going to be SOL. Remove the old bulb from the mount and mount the HID bulb in its place. Then put back the old foam washer over the wires for the new HID bulb. The old socket is then the power source for the transformer. I wrapped some electrical tape around the transfer wires so they won't short out and then wrapped the whole thing again in tape to keep water out.
Yeah, not quite plug and play. It would have been better if he provided a female socket to match up to the bulb sock to power the transformer. But I guess those are not available.
Be very careful installing it or you will break the bulb and be SOL. It takes a bit of patience to get it in there. Be very GENTLE and patient. If you smash it is going to crack and you will be SOL. If you bang it you are going to be SOL. If it won't go back off and try a slightly different angle. It will eventually go in once you get the right spot/angle.
Here is what it looks like mounted:
Other little known fact that Yosi does not advertise is that you may find that one or both lights may not light when you turn them on with the engine off. Mine will only light up with the engine running.
Yosi also had to replace one of the transformers about a week after I installed them. One of the lights would not light at all even with the engine running.

Just messed with the drivers side and figured it out-works fine. Only thing is the black plastic piece that sits inside the light housing-mine is loose. Is there a specific way to keep it in place? Also what keeps the HID bulb secure inside that black piece? Btw my HID bulb came with a little rubber washer-do I still need to use the old foam one?
