If you are interested in performance, Blazer fogs are some of the better performing ones out there:

There's ONE spot open on the dash near the gauge dimmer I think; but IMO it'd be nice to get a switch in near the e-brake since there's four blank lame ones lol

good luck! post your results with pics!

Wonder if anyone ever bought one of those switches from Oznium and tried drastically shaving it to get it to fit. Even if you have to glue it a bit to keep it in, wonder if it'd work...

I tried a tc size switch, i wouldnt even waste my time with it if i was you, its a fair bit too big. Instead i went to autozone and got one of the small round switches with the red led at the top and popped one of the 4 tabs out, , and used a stepdrill in the center of the tab until the switched snapped right in, looks nice and OEM, IMO. I can go snap a pic if youd like.

I'm up for that too! We can meet somewhere in the middle since we're in 3 of the 4 corners of the state. Say somewhere around State College? :D

Exclamation foglights

Hi! Well, the switch can be installed in the dashboard. It has to be at least 1.5" away from the mirror controls, and you have to run some cables through the firewall and into the little door found under the dash dimmer and mirrors. Perhaps you can route the cable down into the e-brake switches, which I have been thinking for a while, but you'd have to take out the console and the center assembly. Now, does anybody know where the headlight harness is so I can plug in my fogs? I have the installation manual of the optomize foglights, but I don't see the harness really well there, so I'd appreciate it if someone is able to post some pictures or tell me clearly where to plug the foglights in! The pictures of the manual are not so clear and there is more than one green cable!
