Yes, going to the 50 watt foglight in the 84-90 requires upgrading your TAILLAMP fuse. I have been running that setup for over two years without a problem now.
One interesting thing is that I know some C4s do not let you turn your foglights on without the headlights on. Mine might of been rewired, I do not know. For example an 84 I drove wouldn't let me turn them on without the headligts on.

Do you guys mean headlights or parking lights? I can use my foglights with just the parking lights on.

Re: (JonM)
That is easily rectified with the rerouting of one wire
Fortunately for us, Cheby made it easy to bypass that design. On Chevy trucks, the entire harness is nicely bundled, except for one green wire, guess which wire you cut so you can have the brights and fogs on at the same time? Yep, the green wire.
Sometimes Cheby really makes me happy. :)

Didn't you try some Xenon 885's scorp, or something like that, and they burned up after 1 night of use?

They are 885 bulbs that you can pickup at any local pepboys or autozone. :) And you got it, upgrade the fuse from a 10 to 15. The stock wiring can handle it, it won't go up in flames.[/QUOTE]
Scorp, do I have to change the taillamp fuse from 10 to 15 on 96 also???

What is involved in that? Did you just buy two entire housings for $24?? I am totally ignorant when it comes to the lighting. I do want to get away from the crappy stock look though :yesnod:

Re: (scorp508)
Scorp, do you just drive arond with your fog lights on at night? I noticed some pictures of your car at night at the track, and at the gas station had only the fogs on...seems like if you get bright enough lights it shouldn't be a problem. Just asking...
