My 75 was born fog light free. How difficult ( and expensive ) would it be to install original looking, square, in the bumper fog lamps?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Wiring is easy. All the wires are in place. I found an original foglight switch, but any SPST switch can be used if you don't want it lighted. I don't know much about foglights, but there are slotted brackets in the bumper for any standard foglights. I installed cheapy Harbor freight ones fora test. THey are plastic,andtherefore too flexible to mount rigidly, but they work well otherwise. You can choose your own and I think price is anywhere from $10.00- infinity! Write ifyou need more info!!

Only thing on the non fog lite 75-76 bumpers is that there is no tab to mount the bolt to hold the lites in place like there is on the bumpers with foglites already mounted.

I was eyeballing the replacement headlamps for the late (last) camaro/firebird ("F body"???) at Autozone. They are roughy 1.5"-2" tall and about 6" wide, but you have to raid a junkyard to get the mountbracket/ connector or make your own. They would be more appropriately used as "driving lights" rather than "fog".

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I have several sets of very very very very clean 75-76 fog lights with bulbs and harnesses if you are interested. If you can remove your bumpers (very easy) see if there are tabs to mount fog lights on the steel part of the bumper. If you do you are lucky. If not you then need to fabricate and weld something to hang the fog lights from that very same steel bumper. Assuming your rubber part of the bumper has no fog light openings, it is very easy to use a sharp razor and juist cut around the inner edges. |
