Switch for the fog lights in the upper control panel:

The seller I used doesn't exist on ebay anymore, so I can't give you much in the way of a link to the parts I used. But everything came in one kit.

I think i'm looking for the exact same lights you have now! how long have you had them installed? what's your opinion on light output and quality of the actual housings? what bulbs are you using as well?

Thanks!! The fog lights were the $25 black plastic ones from Schuck's. Mounting them in my bumper was the hardest part, because there wasn't anything to screw into. The switch was also from Schuck's, because the switch that came with the light was too 80's for me, and wouldn't fit anyway. The upper console has one screw in the bottom you have to remove, and then it just wiggles out. It actually already has a hole for a switch in it already, it's just covered up. Run a drill bit through it, and you're set. The trim along the A-pillar just pops off. Grab a hold of it, and work a screwdriver behind it. All the wiring hides very nicely.

I'm contemplating a set of off-road lights above the bumper, but it will complicate taking the grill off, and might look stoopid. I want to mount the switch overhead as well, but it will either have to go sideways, or cover part of the labeling. Oh well. Decisions, decisions....

I'm pretty sure mine's not a Z71. It's been completely debadged though, and I've been too lazy to look up all the codes in the VIN. Other, more important things to do. The headlight output is about the same as with my really fogged up original lenses. I still need to do the 4-hi, and then do HID's.

I'm thinking about doing a winch bumper, so I'm waffling on whether or not to put my 4" offroad lights on my current bumper, or not. I need to do a rear carrier bumper first though, I guess. Thanks for the kind words, all.
