PIAA Install Question??
Got the PIAA 1100x lights, Forum member sent custom brackets, got the GM Parts light/trunk switch....I'm ready to install!! BUT...how the heck do you get these lights in there??? YIKES! I've got the Z up on ramps, and I have the small lower panel off on the passenger side, just in front of the wheel. There has got to be some "directions" somewhere on this webboard from someone....with a whole bunch of pics!!??? I need a little help! Please send me anything...I'm stumped right now. Thanks!

Do you have the clip bolt things?
If you do when looking up into the opening you should see a a square hole with a round hole just below it. The clip slides through the top square hole and the nut part of it will line up with the bottow round hole. Attach the brakets to that point.
Did you do a search on this forum for the install tips? You can also try the other forum, look for tips by gmblack3. I know we took a bunch of pic's when we installed our sets.

Remove the lower covers under the nose and move the brake cooling duct out of the way.

If you're registered you should be able to click on the link I posted and go right to it.
If you are still having problems I'll talk with gmblack3 and see if we can move them to my server so everyone can get to them easier.

Re: PIAA Install Question?? (woosch)
Wow! Just figured it out! So the lights are now mounted. BUT...wiring question. I understand the pos. hookup and the neg. hookup.....but how do I do the hookup for the on/off switch?? I have a replacement GM switch, that swap should be easy. But now I have three wires to account for, but am clueless how to do this part? I am looking at the "bottom" of the underhood fuse panel, but cannot tell how to hook these in???
