Hi,
I decided to look at my fog lights yesterday which was a mistake - the old unit had disintegrated and came out in several crusty parts.
My question - are there aftermarket fog lights available that will fit in - or do I need to wait patiently for a solid old set to appear. The fitting looks fairly universal??
Thanks for your help
Ed

Hi Ed, if you want to retain the Fog/Driving lamp 'Mounting Pods' as O/E you will need to wait as stated /\ !bussell wrote:Hi,

However no doubt you can 'Graft' something into Mounting Pods' but may involve some modifying/cutting etc. but that's up to you ?
Heres a thread to CHEW-ON to give you an idea of what they can sell for
But if you wait patiently you may pick up a more to your budget used ones as in THIS thread ?
Good luck with finding some !

Re: Replacing Front Foglights
Thanks for the advice, just bought a pair just about the right size for my surrounds, and will make a bracket to mount them in so they should look pretty good without paying silly money. Wow I cant believe what people will pay for some items!RxBX wrote:Hi Ed, if you want to retain the Fog/Driving lamp 'Mounting Pods' as O/E you will need to wait as stated /\ !bussell wrote:Hi,

Quite agree, the chrome reflectors have rusted in mine but I'm pretty sure if I buy something like this I will be able to cannibalise them and use the fittings and reflectors in my original pods without to much issue.

Re: Replacing Front Foglights
I'd just be happy with a couple of surrounds, as I'd like to fit a pair to Mitch the 4x4
