Fog Lights
I have an FRC with out fog lights, and am interested in installing a set. Does anyone have suggestions, or experience with OEM vs Aftermarket?
I am looking to find out what brands will work, or do I need to go with OEM.
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks.

I put them in a '99 FRC
Got a used set from Gene at Karshop with a switch, bought the crush nuts from the dealer that the lights mount to. I didn't get a used wiring harness so I bought the pig tails for the lights from Gene Culley at GM parts direct. Bought the Black (Ground) and Purple (power) wire from NAPA. After I spent all of that it cost more than PIAAS which have better performance. But I like the stock fisheye look and use of stock components. Good luck. Do a search on 'Fog Lights' and someone posted a schematic for the circuit. Even though the wiring IS NOT in the FRC, the relay is in the fuse box in the battery compartment. Good luck.

The PIAAs would be a very good choice.

I'd look here in the For Sale section for a set of used ones from a Vette being parted out - At least you'll be able to keep someones Vette alive by using their lights!
I would assume that the wireing is there!
Thanks,Matt

I wish I had of done this years ago !
Here is the write up I did on installing C5 Fog lights in my Z06. I then installed HID bulbs in my fogs, and low beams. Its not difficult, just a little elbow grease and common sence.
You will not believe how cool the HID fogs and low beams look !
Nothing else even comes close.....
