No. They made GXE foglights that are smaller than the SE ones.

Matt93SE has a set on his car, IIRC. Or, at least he has pics of them on there at one time.

Did a quick search and found a pic with Matt's car and his GXE fogs:

Does courtesy sell the GXE fogs? I have never really checked. I know they sell the SE replacement lenses.

I spotted a dead GXE a while back in someone's yard with the smaller fogs on it, but one was broken If it would have been intact, I would have offered them some money for them.

The bolts holding the bracket onto the chassis. They were all rusted. If I can figure out how to get the broken bolt off, I am going to stainless steel bolts next.

When i first got my max five years ago it didn't have the factory fogs on it..I personally think the stockers look like crap, so i got some wallyworld specials...I had to modify the bracket by drilling a hole in them for the foglight mounting bolts..I think they look pretty good..

Speaking of fogs.... I just noticed during my headlight fiasco that mine done work. Now I know it's not the bulbs and not the combo switch. I was told by a buddy of mine that I should have a seprate switch for them and for some reason my gxe doesn't have this. Is this true that I should have a seprate button/switch for them? Do I need to wire one up?
