I have a 2004 Malibu Classic and wanted to install some fog lights, I have
never done this before, are there some sort of mounting bracket already
there for the fog lights or do I have to drill some holes to install them,
do I hook them up to the headlight power wires or are there wires there for
the factory fog lights that I can use? SHould I get the factory installed
lights from the dealer or aftermarket? I don't think it matters but should
I get yellow or white? Any other info that I forgot to ask about would also
be apprecieated.

merchandise. Those guys love added lights . Don't add to headlight
circuit, use separate line. A relay simplifies wiring, seems complex
at first, but makes sense. Heavy conductor can go from added fuse,
connected to battery to relay, to lights. Light duty wiring connects
switch. Don't add a bunch of bullshit wiring, do it right, or don't do
it. I've seen half ass fog lights fry more than one electrical system.

As for color, Halogen or Xenon eliminate the need for the yellow
position and beam angle are the difference, I'd get one of each
mount the fog light on the left, and the driving light on the right.

Fog lamps work best mounted low, driving lights favor high mounting

So you want me to run a seperate wire from the batterys positive terminal
for the fog lights? kind of like an amplifier set up? Will I need to turn
the fog lights on or can I tie them into the headlights auto operation? So
I should get some white lights I take it from waht you are saying? About
the mounting angle, so I should make one a fog light and the other aim like
a headlight????

If going for the one of each approach, the fog lamp mounts low,
and uses a wide beam to " sweep " the road ahead. The Driving lamp
shines a small, long range beam, and is aimed at the right hand curb
the light should hit curb from 200 feet away.

Quality of electrical work is critical to reliability.

The relay can be wired to kick in when the High beams are on,
this gives you current sipping low beams for city use, and current
gulping superlights for back road use, all without flipping any
goofball toggle switches.

Before you do anything, check your state vehicle regulations. In my state,
you won't pass inspection if the installation and wiring isn't to their
standards.

I think I will just have the dealer install the factory foglights. Just to
be safe ;p
