Body mounted fog lights

Post by speedstars »

Another little project finished. I think they look good, even if they are an inch too big :)

The sharp eyed amongst you will also notice the other little ongoing project, the hard top

Nice job, likey likey :-).

What have you got left to do with the hard top. From memory you had a few problems with the fit?? Is there much differance as your using a original hard top in the fit ie around windscreen and body etc??

Hi Rich,
yer the hard tops been fun, needed to cut it in half, add two inches to the middle, then re-profile the front and rear, for a nice snug fit. First attempt at spraying two pack, that`s a pain. Got all the seals from the States. Just need to go and see Gary, to see if any of his parts are correct, and fit. If not I`ll have to go to Fibresteel :-)

They are Bosch 5" fog lights, but I`ve wired them into the high beam. They`ll see more use that way. They should really be 4", but they work out at about £600 a pair, and I can`t justify that price!! Once you`ve cut the holes they simply bolt to the outer of the luggage compartment, with an L bracket. Seals are just a piece of 6mm silicon tube cut down the middle. I cut the holes at 94mm as per the original 4" lamps so I can change them if I ever find the right ones, at the right price.
