You should be able to fit foglights by cutting a few of the slats out from the lower grille. Behind the grille (on mine at least) there should be 2 holes (1 on each side) that you can mount a standard light bracket to, so no drilling required!

The clock is removed by taking out the odds and ends tray, 2 screws at the front hold it in. You will probably find that it's just the bulb - try a new bulb first. I think it's the same as a ZX clock although someone (Jeremy, Phillip?) who has experience of both will, I'm sure, correct me if I'm wrong...

arh the odds and end trays are no where near the clock its up in the middle of the dash its on a L '93 i think theres 2 diffent styles off dash

Ive got the fog lights installed and all working just wondered how easy it
was to just replace them with the driving lights ive got

Does your dash look anything like this?

If you look on the left that recess is what I was calling the odds and ends tray...

Extra controls under the Cig Lighter are controls for Air-con ehen fitted.

Info was correct for removing odd& ends tray to access clock.

No, they are at the front of the tray, one above the cig. lighter and one above the RH vent. It'll be easy in the light!

Don't worry I had trouble finding them as well and had to have them pointed out.

They are in the front lip of the tray (nearest you when you are sat in the car) and are both in the position mentioned above but the heads face the windscreen so you can't see them unless you look at the inside on the lip from above.

Hope thats a bit clearer
