So I have this idea. I have 2010 LS that probably doesn't have the harness, and probably doesn't have a BCM that is program able for the the Fogs. So, being the ever thinking person that I am, I am planning to do the attach the front side marker to the blinker mod. Are there some wires I can splice into to run to the newly acquired fog lights so they would always be on with the parking lights? Like maybe the unused wire from the side marker? This way I dont have to have a switch, I dont have to get a BCM AND get it programed, and IF i just wanted the fog lights on all i have to do is turn the parking lights on or turn the head lights off. LOL

if you wire the fog lights to the parking lights you will run the risk of over loading the parking lights,wiring,fuses,ect...
however i have heard of people wiring fog lights to the low beem headlights without any issues.

Oh, that is a better idea. Thank you for that. 8-D

i put the factory fog lights on my 09LS and i used a tech2 to tell the bcm that the car now has fog lights. everything works perfect. I did this mod last summer, a week after I bought my HHR.

Talvanos

yea, seems I cant afford the $2k for the Tech2 scanner.

I have a 2007 Chevrolet HHR 1LT without fog lamps. I don't know much about cars, and the stuff you guys are talking about is way beyond what I know how to do. How much do you think an average dealership would charge to install the factory fog lights on my HHR, beginning to end? I don't want to mess anything up by trying to do it myself; I have no experience with this sort of stuff.

If you listen to us you'll get different answers. Just call a dealer, ask for the service dept and they will give you the best answer. Then I bet you'll change your mind on having them do it.

Talvanos

yes, I will do as much work on my own that I can to save a buck.

I have actually found a way around the higher voltage issue. LED fog light bulbs. I have found sevral manufacturers that make the H11 in an LED configuration that I am sure draws less power than the Halogen counter part.

Do you think installing factory fog lights would be something that someone with no experience in this area would be able to figure out? Is it simple enough?
