So can you tell me how these lights hook up to the existing electrical system and how they are turned on an off by the driver?

Thx.

Here is the electrical diagram.


Some people like to get the stock Corvette fog switch but the Piaa 1100X kit does come with a switch already (and wire harness & relay). It is about 1 1/2" and can be mounted anywhere as you please.

Stock Corvette fog/trunk switch


Piaa switch that comes with the kit.

JB-
Hi JB, I don't carry that switch. However, you can pick one up at any local Chevy dealer or at gmpartsdirect.com ($51.35 at dealer or $29.27 at gmpartsdirect. Pretty crazy for a simple switch if you ask me. It must be that Corvette tax. :lol: ***And just fyi, the Piaa switch works just fine)

Have a great weekend. :cheers:

I don't have the varam intake yet but if you look at the 3rd picture from the thread posted above and the information I read on other posts there are holes for the fog lights to shine through. Looks like it is no big deal.

Hey Tuan,
I am planning on this mod soon. When i do it, will the headlamps look more yellow compared to the piaa fogs? If so, what headlamps would you recommend to match the piaa fogs. Please include brand and model numbers for high and low bulbs that will fit a 2003 Z06.
Thanks.
