Fitting of aftermarket auxiliary lights

Post by michaelr »

I have a 1989 BX 19TRI with no fog lights or driving lights fitted. I would like to fit some additional “spot” lights to assist open road driving. I have a pair of rectangular spots from a Peugeot 205. I assume I can simply cut away a portion of the lower bumper bar to make a position for them.

My questions are:
1. Is the wiring already in place for these?
2. Any tips for finding the mounting points and relay location (if any)

Thanks

1) Doubtful
2) You need two fog lamp housings. There will be 4 small lugs that secure the aforementioned housing on the bumper. Yes, you need to cut the louvres out of the front bumper - the spot is defined by two intermediate sidewalls that make a small rectangle.
Doubtful the relay would be fitted, so you'll need to add one!
This is assuming it's the later mk2 bumper
