Hi guys,

 

 

I have an import with one recessed fog set into the smooth painted section of me bumper which looks naff . . . . . . as I am having the bumper sprayed I would like to lower the fog to the lower half of the bumper and fit another either side of the no plate . . . . . so which route should I take . . do I alter me existing bumper or fit a uk one or wire up inner rears . . . idea of cost and practcality would also be a big help.

 

thanx

on my import it had the rear fog fitted in the same place as the uk models, as shown in the picture.

 

apparently if you take the bumper off there is a cut out on the inside so just cut it out from the inside.

 

 

hth.

Thanx Chris,

 

Just so happens that I have the exact same rear fog as yours . . . . . So if thats the case I just need to pick up a pair of matching recessed fogs . . . . .Any ideas where I could pick a pair up anyone

i actally have a uk Zed and replaced the back bumper with an import one ( basically because of the horid fog lights ) and imported the fog light into the centre panel

two of the lights from my centre panel were converted to fog lights too. They don't seem bright enough to be fog lights but I prefer them as there is nothing..... un-natural about the cars rear.

Thanx Lads,

 

where do I get the kit of parts from to make this centre panel mod

ive been thinking about doing something along the lines of the r34 rear bumper with the fog light and reverse light in the corners of numper plate recess

ive got a stroseck rear bumper

Best way IMO

i often turn my fog light on and use it as a reverse light as the stock reverse lights are cak.

 

My rear lights are tinted as well which doesnt help!

 

I have the extra uk fog light fitted as above - didnt relise it is the same as the uk version!

It's NOT!!!!!!!!

I was thinking this when I was considering my rear fog options. The UK one has a recess both side that the fog lamp then screws in to, the one in the pic is simply cut out then attached (actually not a bad option, if you can find them)

 

Many options are covered in the Fog Lamp FAQ, please take a look, it also has a link the the rules and regulations web site that covers all this (and more)

OK, so the UK bumper isn't the best looking in the world, but it is the most legal combined with looks (as in, those ones that hang down look shite!!) Take a note that converting the inner brake lamps is a good mod if you want to keep the OEM looks, but, in the letter of the law, is illegal! (check link in FAQ, as brake and fog will be touching each other)

Converting the R/H reversing lamp really cuts down on your reversing lighting ability, and DOES NOT meet the MOT requirements properly (although it would probably pass)

Also removing a temp fog lamp after an MOT, and driving around without one really (IMHO) isn't very clever. What happens if you come across some fog when out driving? The fog lamp is there so that other drivers know that YOU are there, it's YOUR protection.

It's like driving around in the daytime when it's foggy without you front fog lamps on. They aren't there for your benefit, they are there so that OTHERS know where you are!!................... Oppsssss, sorry, that's a little pet subject of mine. I'll shut up now :D
