My 01 Cavy didn't come equipped with fog lights, and I am having a hard time deciding which ones would look/work best for it??? Any suggestions? For those of you that were in the same situation, what do you have? Thanks!
no 3rd gen cavs ever came with fog lights
they used driving lights
the difference is
fog = yellow
driving = white
not true on color of fog lights. Its the beam pattern which determines light use,
fog lights have a flat pattern usually with the top portion cut off (blocked) so they shoot under the fog. Driving lights usually have a round or pencil type beam
I have driving lights right behind the bumper. I am thinkin about trimming the bumper and putting them with the factory location would be though. here is a pic

Sorry for this being a pic of a sunfire but its just to give you an idea.
These are :
So then technically the lights in my front bumper are driving lights, not fog lights?
First of all, I'd like to thank wesmanw02 for being such a Cobalt-nut-sucking tool.
Secondly, I'd like to thank Travis Kearny for being so entertaining.

Correct. Tue fogs however are oval or narrow shaped with a amber bulb, reason is amber deosnt refect back to you in fog.
I was looking into getting ones for my 05. Are you able to change the bulbs in the stock lights? My Cavy didn't come with them, and I was looking into getting some kind of hyper whites or something so they match with my headlights.

what are you talking about my z24 has fog lights theres a button to turn them off or on its a 99
I am sincerely sorry for the mixup guys, I actually meant driving lights. My cousin Shawn's 99 cavi has driving lights and when i drive it, there is an incredible difference at night. Not to mention, it boosts the overall appearence of the cavi. But from reading these posts i have decided what i will get and where i will put them. Thanks!

It has been shown in Europe and you notice most high end cars have yellow foglights because the wavelength of yellow light is better used in fog that a white light.
