Fog Light Isues Ok so im having some retarded problems with my fog lights. I am now replacing the passenger side one for the FOURTH time. 
the driver side one has been changed twice. i have no idea what the problem is, i dont see any frayed wires or anything. If anyone has any input that would be awesome.

Use that head on your shoulders...
You think people would be happy buying a whole new unit everytime a fog light goes out.

i got to kragen and get the silverstar replacement bulb. and just an advance warning to ya. ITS ONE MAJOR PITFA to replace the bulbs. unless you have skinny arms, then it should be alright. im going to wash my car tomorrow and check to see if moisture is getting in. if not, looks like im just gonna have to sport the fogs on weekends only.
thanks for everyones input!

Here's a page of Owner's manuals. The replacement number wasn't in my book but may be in yours. I had to take one out to see what the number was and then go to the parts store.
Regardless of how you do it: find your bulb replacement, get a couple, go to your car and open your hood, look, think, replace.
For my 98 Z28 I was able to reach from the top and get both sides. I don't have super-skinny arms and it was a pain, but was do-able. The fixture was L-shaped and turned about 45 degrees (left or right), then dropped out.
Alternately, you could maybe go at it from below. I tried that too, but even with WD-40 on the fasteners it was better to go at it from the top.
Good Luck to you...

They're a 4" dia, so they fit in the stock openings and don't look out of place, if you didn't know you wouldn't guess they weren't stock, until you turn them on
I was able to use the stock wiring, and switch, so it doesn't look added on
BTW for anyone else that wants brighter light, and to quit having to replace the stock bulbs every five minutes, I'd trash the stock ones, and get a set of aftermarket fogs, best $60 I've spent

Sweet, how do I actually mount them into the bumper? It has those holes blocked off, can I get them?

Hell Yea, I replaced mine also with a $60 set for advanced auto, looks stock except for the blue tint same size and all, goes great with my color scheme and I haven't had to replace my bulbs. Its been over two years.
Stock sucks, Trade up and be happy. My fogs outshine our sorry *** headlights.
Headlights are one things that I'm jealous to the camaro guys.
That's it thought!!!
