    Default Fog Light Mod on VZ Exec

    Can i put a different front bumper on with fog lights? Do i need a switch inside on the dash? Is wiring up the fog lights easy?

    In most States it is now illegal to drive around with fog lights operating unless during periods of low visin\bility. e.g. fog, smoke, dust etc.

    Fog lights should only be operated in conjunction with the parking lights. To have them on with headllights creates far to much glare from oncoming traffic.

    It is illegal for you to change to globes in fog lights from their original wattage/output to a higher output.

    Any (ANY) modification(s), unless approved to ADR standards, that change/alter/modify any aspect of your vehicle from the ADR standards/requirements that existed at the time of manufacture of your vehicle are ILLEGAL.

    You can fit a different front bar, you just need to right foggies to fit. With the switch you can buy the HL switch which has the foglight option, the Berlina, SV6, SS etc.... have these.
    When u buy the lights they will come with a wiring diagram which isnt to had to install.

    Im thinking of doing this to my Acclaim (I have a SS bar on "order" just for something different) but Troy that looks awesome, I'm tempted to keep the standard bar and fit those now

    FYI the wiring should be there, just chuck in the lights, switch and relay!! Keyword being "should" but going off Troys post perhaps the Execcies dont have it (My Acclaim has the wiring there, but come to think of it Dads SX6 Adventra didnt and they have the cut out for the fog lights in the front bar)

    My S ute didn't have the wiring there so I would assume an Exec wouldn't have them either.
