84 Fog Light Question

[Thomas F.]

The NCRS Operational Manual states that the fog lights can be turned on if the parking lights are on. It also states the fog lights can be turned on if the headlights are on. It also states the fog lights will not burn unless the parking or headlights are on.

On my 84 Corvette the fog lights will only burn if the headlights are on. They will not burn if just the parking lights are on.

Is the manual correct on this or is there something wrong with my car?

Re: 84 Fog Light Question

Thomas my 85 fog lights only work when the parking lights are on or with the headlights on.
The fog lights do not work without the parking lights or headlights on.

Re: 84 Fog Light Question

Checked my '84 and the fog lights only work with the headlights on. I thought that was the case, but checked to be sure. I've owned the car since new, and seem to recall that was one of the things that kind of bugged me at the time, as I thought it would make sense to be able to use the fog lights independently of the headlights.

Re: 84 Fog Light Question

Thanks Jim. According to the "NCRS First Edition 1984-1989 Corvette Operations Manual & Performance Verification Test Guide" and the "NCRS First Edition 1984-1986 Corvette Technical Information Manual & Judging Guide", the fog lights on your 85 are working correctly. If the 84 is different these manuals do not address that issue. The fog lights on my 84 only work if the headlights are on. They do not work with just the parking lights on. I just read the post from another member who also has an 84 and he stated his fog lights would not work with just the parking lights on.
