Default OEM Fog Light ???

Does anyone know if the non-Z06 C5's come prewired for fog lights? I want to install the OEM fog lights and need to know if I need to buy a harness as well as the lights and switch. Thanks.

from what I understand you need the underhood harness but it is wired in the car
im not 100% sure
I looked into this then said the hell with it and took out the black housing in there and installed oem Z06 screens. The car now runs cooler

If you have a ZO6, you do NOT have the harness for the Driving Lights. All you need to do is get a duel switch for the trunk / driving Lights, pop it in and install a power wire from the under hood fuse center to the lights. The switch just plugs in to the harness inside the dash and the relay is already there inside the fuse box. Just ground the lights to the skid plate frame and your all done.

You will need to purchase a nut clip to mount the lights in the heade bar. NAPA has them.

I have a 99 C5 that came for OEM fog lights. It is an A4 vert.

I'm not sure what you are asking. My '01 vert is equipped with factory fog lights. Were they optional?
