Do It yourself factory Fogs
The dash light is controlled by the BCM, so it should work after you have the dealer re-program it....at least mine worked after re-programming. Did you install the switch and wiring the fogs per the "How To" or did you wire the switch directly to the fogs ?
Fog Light Heads
Found these on Fleabay. Supposed to be exactly like factory OEM

I want too!!
I want to do this mod on my Brand New 2008 LS. Can this be done on the LS?? Is the fog light wiring harness already there?? Can I have the BCM reprogrammed on an LS or should I just opt for the seperate switch/relay/fuse holder. Gonna order 'em off ebay and want to make sure I don't need any extra "dealer only" parts. Thanks in advance for your help.

More wirring on some hhr's
I just put fog lamps on my fathers 2007 hhr LS. it has a build date of 05/07. I installed every thing just like this post sead but when I had the BCM programed the only thing that worked was the light on the dash
I had to do alot of searching to find the problem but I found it. This hhr has the wirring at the switch to the BCM but no wire from the BCM to the PDC (under hood fuse box).
I found the info I needed and added the wire, now they work just like they should.
so here go's first I would like to say that the info on this how to post is great and will work on most of the hhr's but there are some odd ball's out there and my fathers is one of them.
The wire that I had to add was the control wire to the relay if it's there it would be yellow in color. it connects pin #54 on the C1 BCM connector to pin#C1 on the C2 PDC (under hood fuse box) connector. the C2 connector is the connector closest to the fire wall. the BCM C1 connector is the connetor at the bottom closet to the floor that you can see when you remove the inside fuse box cover. ( I took some pic's but will need some time to add later)
you can use the same connector pin that was used on the under hood fuse block but you will need to get the right pin for the BCM. I got it from my dealer, the terminal tray #is 15359541/4 the OEM # is 15393122. parts department should know how to use these numbers. You will have to run this wire inside the car I ran mine next to the hood relese cable then inside the car with the hood cable gromit.
This 07 hhr did not have a fog lamp relay or a fuse for the relay It was just empty spaces. I see that some people have stated that the relay and the fuse was aready there maybe thats how you can tell if you have the control wire? if it has the relay there it may have the wire if the relay is not there it more then likey don't have the wire
It was a lot more work then I aspected but it works great and most of all dad's happy

Hi all. Just bought a set of the direct OEM replacement fog lights from "Fleabay". Like cj, the only 2 option that I wanted was auto transmission and fog lights. My 2008 LS does not have the fuse and circut breaker installed. Does anyone know if the factory switch is a momentary contact type or open/close type of switch? Also I need instruction on removing the panel for switch access so that I can check for the switch connector (the PCM is wired but nothing is plugged in).
My first post stated fuse and circuit breaker, I met fuse and relay. In any case the local dealer didn't know if my BCM could be programmed for F/L. If the factory switch is a open/close type I will use it to control the A/M relay. I have looked but none of the usual on line services has the wiring diagrams for the 2008’s yet. Checked on a GM shop manual but they are out of stock until mid July. Once I have the wiring diagram I will be able to modify the wiring to work like factory installed with out buying a new BCM. I will let you all know how things work out.
