Perhaps posing question in European Forum might net more results. Taras I believe is sporting the Euro style bumper with fog lights, a PM to him may assist.

I've got a set in my J-spec bumper. They are fairly compact, the stock mounting bracket is faily sizeable though. As far as beam quality, they are fairly good. Thay are H3 based projectors with an outer lens that is a sideways diffuser. They provide an OK short and wide beam, but not as even as I would want. If I would have a choice between the two, I would opt for a set of Hella Micro DE Fog lights.

I meant the Hellas! I pulled the OEM fogs out - but thanks for the offer kiwimx3, be careful someone else might take you up on that offer.

But then they'd need the bumper and freight would kill that....

I see the kiwimx3 more with a single 500 watt aircraft landing light or something - don't think what your building will be driving around in the fog somehow... Either that or you hanging out the window with an Eveready!

Grants buddy, you're losin' it......

kiwimx3, I bet he's got a line on some really excellent aircraft lights. Don't think they have to follow as stringent highway legislative laws like automotive after market lights. My contacts in the aircraft maintainers rhealm have dried up. But not after I was able to make teflon braided clutch and brake lines for my bike or source all sorts of unique fiitings, brackets and the like.

I can't comment for leagel resin's , ie id get myself in a lot of s---....
and the bolts are all unf or unc anyway and the fuel fittings are well big.

But yea those are bright lights on the landing gear, though in my neck
of the woods you need good lights else you can hit cow's on the road..

Not that id be going very fast in the first place. mind you at the drag's
last time i had my miners helmet light on my head so i did'nt have to
hang out the window with me dolphin torch

Tho i love those projectors......more of a project for finishing the
car off with, along witha few other touches that yea you will all see...

Fuel anyone?
