Default Fog lights option

Is the wiring for the fog lights installed on a car that fog lights were not order?
I know some car have a basic harnessand they just tie back what doesn't get use.

I didn't know you could order fog lights... I thought it came on every base C5 and never on Z06's.

I think Radio Flyer sells a full kit to add them to a Z06 if you need it...

The wiring from the switch to the underhood fuse box is already installed as part of the harness. The relay and fuse should be there too. You will need the factory trunk release/foglight switch which should work after just snapping it in. You will also have to run the wiring from the fuse block to the lights. You just have to tap into the wire underneath coming from fuse #39, which I believe is a purple wire. It's a long time since I did this to my car.

Yea all the way up to 2001 you could get the base car without fogs, they became standard in 01.

I ordered my '02 without them. If you ordered the 1SA package it did not come with fog lights. The rest of the information is correct. They function as if installed by the factory (flash to pass, approach lights, etc) if you wire them through the relay. Be sure to get the mounting hardware too. All the appropriate holes are already in the impact bar.

Huh I guess you learn something new everyday, nothing I have shows a 1SA package and doesnt list the fogs as an option but doesnt list it as standard either.

Yeah... you know how the General likes to package things. What happened to picking the options you want individually? At least they made it easy to plug and play.
