Default CS front Fascia / wiring ALL 4 fog lights

Hi,
I am interested in the CS front fascia upgrade. the question I have is: has anyone installed this and wired up ALL 4 fog lights? I want to keep all 4 working. I realize I could prob splice them in, but wondering is anyone has used a better solution?

Much Thanks!

Yes i bought the fascia and have all 4 lights running. But I took out the big stock factory foglights and put a grill on (look at my pic in my sig). I cant remember where i purchased it from, but you have to buy the fascia with the lights in it, then when you install it hook the factory lights from your stocks foglights to the new lights on the fascia.

Cool. I plan on keeping the factory Grill Foglights. So they ship you a wiring harness that you can plug all the lights in together?

You have to do a bit of splicing to make all 4 work but it can be done.

If you keep the factory grill know that you can't have those fog lights and the CS lights on at the same time.
But yes, when I ordered my CS way back, it was very simple. I just took off the
front part of the car, unplugged the factory fog lights, and simply plugged them into the CS lights.

Thats the thing. I want all 4 lights to work. I have seen pics on american muscle where people have all 4 lights on. I was hoping that you can connect the CS lights into the grill lights without worry of overloading that circuit.

A friend of mine spliced his into his parking lights and left the factory fogs as is. He is Widow Maker on the forum. PM him, he will tell what he did. Some state laws do limit the number of lights one can run at the same time. NC law says 5. I don't think anyone here bothers with it though. Be sure to let us know what you do.

Remember reading that one guy added a switch so he could turn on either the grill fogs OR the CS fogs because of local laws, but that way he could keep both. Sorry, don't have any particulars to share but it's another possible way to skin the cat.
