Re: 1990 fog lights
Well, I am officially impressed. These came from Vette-lights.com.
They are a true plug and play, change the bulbs, and the ballast interupts the factory plugs with no cutting or hacking. The only hiccup was getting the bulbs installed, a little tricky on a 90. |

Re: 1990 fog lights
Glad this went relatively well, Steve.
Interesting timing in that I just finished (today) a mod to get these to work in my'91. Like several other Registry members, I could not get these to work reliably without providing power more directly to the ballasts through a relay controlled by the factory fog light circuitry. Like others that had this problem, I could get either one light or the other to come on, but not both; it was always a race as to which one would illuminate first. I looked for a bad ground as the source of the problem, but could find none. These lights are exceptional and well worth the mod.

Re: 1990 fog lights
I had this problem on my 91 as well. One light would want to dominate the other and they would rarely run in pairs.

Re: 1990 fog lights
I've had no issues with them coming on, but as stated, installing the bulbs was a real pain.

I may try this on my 90 with the 91 body. I have to wait now until winter as it was 109 yesterday. Ugh. Summer is here. GC

Re: 1990 fog lights
I went to HID driving/fog lights on my 94 and had no issue.
It is strange that some are finding the right and the left side fighting for juice... |

I was thinking more along the lines of electrical updates.
