Installing the fog lamps is not a big deal.
The wiring from the dash to the fuse box beside battery is the same on all cars. Your good to to there. The wiring from the fuse box to the fog lamps is NOT there. You also have to get a new dual button (trunk/fogs) for the dash since Z06's only have the trunk release button.
I have a write up on my web page about the install I did.

Gotta be careful, not all vettes are created equal.
Pull out the trunk switch and verify that you have a purple wire running into the connector. It should be towards the right, if not you will not be able to install fogs using the factory switch as you're missing the circuit wiring.
Ran into this on Zenak's FRC a few weeks back and had to make up my own harness.
