    Retrofit front fogs?

    Hi was just wondering if it is possible to retrofit the front foglights?
    There appears to be cut outs in the bumper.... What about wiring? Switches?

    New wiring loom, steering wheel switch and I’d say a CCF alteration, which isn’t possible just now and that’s assuming that the wire is there from the bulkhead to the actual switch.

    Id say it’s a non starter, but even if it were, it’s lot of work for basically a cosmetic gain. The headlights lights are fine.

    They can be physically fit relatively easily, as you state, blanking plates are in the bumper, these are held in with 3 screws which are the same mountings as the Fog lamps themselves.

    The problem as DD points out is the wiring, to wire them as per original would require a lot of work and expense however they could be made to work using a home made loom switched by either the rear fog light, a independent non OEM switch or use them as driving lamps and switch them through the headlamp main beam.

    I can supply you a plug in headlamp break out wiring loom, if you wanted to use the main beam.( non commercial post)
