Looks like my car has the inserts for the fog lights in the bumper. I called the Chevrolet Dealership here and they said it would be in the thousands to put fog lights from them. Just wondering if I can do it with aftermarket ones instead of stock? Around how much will it cost please?
Buy the factory fog light housings(eBay), remove the front bumper and install them. Reason for removing bumper is so that you can do it easier and also to run the auxiliary wiring harness(eBay, pepboys, autozone). Then either use the switch included with the harness or buy the factory turn signal switch(eBay) that has the fog light switch attached and wire that up to the harness.
I added the factory fog lights to mine with the auxiliary harness and factory fog light switch. Also wired it up to the DRL indicator so whenever the fog lights are on it uses the DRL indicator to let me know.
total cost was under $200
anyone got the part number for the OEM fog lights?

Just buy the stock ones, install them yourself, not OEM on wiring (Because it requres a lot of it, and it's just not worth it).
So, here's what you do.
It was easier for me to take off both fenders and bumper all as one, as I couldn't get the bumper to fender bolts removed, so I just took it all off.
After it's off, remove plastic covers, install oem ones, I would go get 6 nuts from your local hardware store, so that you can put new fogs on.
Next, for the wiring, all the components I got were as listed below;
1 wiring relay (amazon)
2 inline fuse connectors (amazon)
100ft of 14 ga black wire (I only used about 25-30ft, I do a lot of wiring, so I just bought extra, 14ga was fairly easy to work with) (o rilieys)
2 881 bulb connects (o rileys)
1 wire stripper/cutter
1 switch (not a lighted switch
a box of 10 ring connectors 14-18ga or so, they're blue.
Now for the wiring,
I went from the battery to switch, then switch to relay
But, if you leave the switch on, they always stay on, if you tap into your radio wire, or any other 12v line that's switched, they'll shutoff if you forget the switch on.

Don't worry about the colors, but do the fuses.
You can do the colors, but it'll cost you however much wire you'd use.
All the fuses you can get from an auto store.
If I didn't explain everything right, or need help, just ask!
I paid total of like $120.
Ok Thank you all for your replies!
