And paint, my color isn't listed as available. I figure if a body shop is doing the color change for me, they may as well do the installation, too.

Thanks for the response!

Am I missing something with the wire harness? I oredered the Part PT189 from Rock Auto but the plugs dont connect to the fog light. They are not the right design. Has anyone actually ordered that exact set?

I went ahead and bought the AC Delco part but not after buying both the other sets and having to pay to return them.

Sorry Bro.
You didn't want to read all the threads!! There was a wealth of information there!!

The AC Delco number is PT 120
The BWD number is PT 189

I wrote a Fog DIY all inclusive in one post, that also pertained to the IPL bumper.

I have a graphite shadow that needs a new bumper cover. Any one perform this mod that has a GS sport bumper for sale? (Denver) If not, I will buy one of the $283 IPL bumpers in BS or PG and have it painted. I'm guessing the BS would be better, as once rocks chip the paint, it will be closer to the GS.

Anyone here make the faux vents real vents? I'm wondering about making the side vents functional, one side for the tranny cooler, the other for an oil cooler. Not sure how much more it would take to locate the coolers there, but they would be functional, I think it would look good and I already have fogs in my 2010 lamp cluster. The crushed rocks they use on winter roads usually kill low fog lights here in the mountains. I'd use a metal mesh similar to the faux vent, and attach a screen to it. Even if the rock gets through that, it'll slow it down, and radiators can take more abuse than glass anyway.

Hope I dont get flamed for this, but I did a thread search..

I have a 2010 with the Aero front.. All i believe I need is the fogs, ipl grill inserts (part #?), and ac delco pt120 x 2 harnesses.

My question is this:

1. Are the fogs plugging into existing wiring that is unused or replacing the fogs that are included in the headlamp?

1a. Any way to use both sets of fogs?

2. Since I am already aero, the washer res should be ok right?

3. Once I complete the install, Ill give away my Aero grill inserts to anyone who needs them since Im asking this questions which I am sure were answered somewhere... Just paypal me shipping

(Kinda at work looking to order everything overnight for saturday, been kinda hard looking through 111 pages lol. Hope you guys dont mind!)

WOW my eyes hurt. I read all pages! I have PG color, anybody just have it painted and installed? Or its best to leave the vehicle to match the color 100%. I have the Original HIDs, what is one step higher, 5300K or 6K? If so, to match the look, get the fog hid kit same K? I think it said Ac auto or etc. Where the foglight where like 55$ each plus 20$ for pigtails? How much more does it cost for a HID fog kit?
