I think I have a set of brackets. Let me know if you need some.
Can let them go for $50 shipped.

That's a good deal !
I spent almost that trying to piece used parts, and harness's together to set mine up. Wish your kit was available when I did mine...

Thanks for the info, I had kind of expected that. The reason that I'm asking is that I thing that I'm going to install a Tiger Shark front end and it looks very cool with the fog lights

I think fog lights were an "option" on the C5's (coupes/verts).
I know they were NOT an option on the Z06's at all.

For 2002 model year cars, you had to get the 1SB package on the car to get fog lights - they were not available as a stand alone option. If your car did not have the 1SB package, I would think you would need the brackets, lights, wiring, etc.

Wow! I didn't know that. I don't think I've ever seen a C5 coupe/convertible without fog lights. Do they have solid shrouds instead of shrouds with the foglight housing?

Was there a reason why the C5 Z06's did not get fog lights?

I just bought a 2003 C5 Z06 and was surprised to find out it did not have fog lights like all the other vettes I have owned.

Just wondering if there were some specific reasons for this omission - I may want to add some later on but don't want to do so if it causes some issue I am not aware of.

All part of the weight reduction on the Z06. You would be surprised how stripped down it is compared to the coupe/vert. And they charged us more for it...

Adding OEM C5 fog lights is not too hard though. Its even better if you throw in some HID bulbs. Gives you some great light output !

The wiring is complete from the fog light switch in the dash to the fuse box under the hood (pass side). You just need to get a fog lamp button for the dash, C5 fog lamps, and wire the hot leads it to the purple wire under relay #39, and to the GND over the passenger front tire well.

I wrote about it on my web site when I did this years ago.
