My '73 2.0 did not have foglights installed when built. How big of a job is it to add them? What's needed? I saw a set of aftermarket lights on ebay that comes with the switch, relay, lights,etc. I have read that the wiring is already there, is that true? I like the look of them and would like to make that part of my spring update plan.
Thanks for any advice. Dave |

What is the problem with putting driving lights in the fog light location? Is it a question of effectiveness when mounted that low? Or the issue of originality? I have to admit the stock headlights in my car are pretty dim; it would be great to have more candlepower, especially with my old eyes!

QUOTE(Last930 @ Feb 3 2015, 07:40 PM)  What is the problem with putting driving lights in the fog light location? Too low for good driving lights, completely useless during foggy conditions, illegal in most locations. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
