Fog Lights mounted and ready

Taking advantage of the warm weather today in the low 70's, I've been itching for the last several weeks to get the fog lights mounted on the Envoy.  I was hoping to add the switch above the factory fog lights believing there was some open area behind the panel.  Boy was I wrong.  Good ol' General Motors and Chevy decided to incorporate the fog lights into the headlight switch thus creating an oversized box of circuits.  This was unexpected, but lets keep moving on.

After searching the web for a while, i really liked the style Pilot Automotive puts out for their lights.  Running through their catalog, I came across Pl-2202C Fog Lamps.

After opening the package to display the contents, I began work by checking over the new brush guard and located the two pre-drilled holes for mounting.  They were a bit over-sized for my mounting bolts, so I added a few washers to make up the difference.  With both secured, we end up with this.

 

As I said before, this was the design I really like and after mounting, it gave the Envoy a beefer look to the front.  I also added the newly created license plate displaying my Ham call sign.  With the hood now opened, it was just a matter of fishing the lines through the firewall into the cab.  I think Pilot could offer an additional 4 feet of wire, I had to cut and splice new extensions to the switch which is mounted to the right and below the steering wheel.

With all the lines routed safely under the dash, I finished up by connecting the ground wire and hot wired the positive cable to the battery.  Here is the finished result.

 

I'm really looking forward to using these during the upcoming storm season.  With only a few minor things left to add, I'm ready for whatever nature throws at me.
