I took my headlight switch out of the car and looked at the connector.
Both the Caprice switch and the G8 switch have the same amount of pins.
On the Caprice switch the upper left pin is not used.
Testing the G8 switch that pin works.
The Caprice connector doesn't have a wire going to that pin.
Does anyone know how to add a wire and to a connector.
I might be able to take the connector apart enough to add the pin on the connector if I can find a pin to put in there.
I think I'm just going to use a universal fog light harness with the relay and fuse in it.
For the connector, you'll need the female end and you need a special tool that crimps the the female pin to the wire. It crimps it into a square. There's a Delphi tool, but it's super expensive. Then all you do is insert the female end to connector and it snaps in. The tool looks like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/METRI-PACK-CRIM ... 1a&vxp=mtr
If you can find a harness at the auto parts store that uses the same kind of female pins, I would just cannibilize it for the pin connected to the wire and insert it into the caprice harness and then run it to your relay. Just stick a small flat screwdriver in the front part of the harness until the pin disengages and pull back on the wire.
Here's my foglights with the Berlina trim. Don't pay any mind to the reflector tape. That was placed there to cover the holes where the push bar used to be.
Looks good Greg! Time to find a Caprice wreck that took a rear hit so you can scarf the front cap...

The grill is ME Caprice. I had to replace my grill because of the holes from the up fitting. I figured I'd get the ME Caprice grill since I was changing it out anyway.

How did you get that grill? I like it... I want one...

I got the grille from another source, but i see it is available at holmart.com.au in the Chevrolet section. You have to click on international prices to see it in US dollars.
That looks great Greg!
I hooked up my fog lights tonight except the connection to the headlight switch.
I used the harness from CP and connected it to a universal fog light kit.
It has a relay and fuse built in.
I took pictures at each step so I'm going to make a how-to.
My computer crapped out so I'm typing this now on my wife's iPad.
