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

Re: Body mounted fog lights
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??

Re: Body mounted fog lights
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

Re: Body mounted fog lights
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.
