I am thinking about buying fog lights for my 73. it did not come with them from the factory. auto at. has them new for about $250/side. i see some on ebay for around $250/pair.

Any thoughts?

I have these and really like 'em. Previously/also known as "Pilots"
I've updated them with LED's so they match the same color temperature as my LED headlights.

These come with custom brackets which you'll need.

You'll also need a switch - many ways to go there...but there is probably already a hole available in your dash for a stock setup left of the steering wheel - it's covered with the vinyl and just not punched out.

Tried the LED bulbs to match the headlights but replaced with new incandescent bulbs to get that warmer look. Really not useful much as fog lights - not that I’d be driving this car in the fog at my age…

I added the 'Pilot' driving lights several years ago and am very happy with them.

More recently I replaced the headlights with the LED's from 914 Rubber. WOW. One of the best upgrades ever.

Mine did not come with fog lights either. But all you need is a factory switch and the lights, the wiring is already there. It’s hidden under the dash about where the switch goes. And the wiring is up front.
I got these from George at auto Atlanta about 25 years ago. They’re halogen and have held up well. They just bolted on.

Ooooops double post

I changed my completely rusted stock fogs to driving lights. I had to change the bulbs to 50w as the lights it came with were way too bright. I like them. Certainly cheap enough.

Make sure your car has the wiring for them. Not all of them had the wires in the loom.

I replaced the 75-76 fogs with Pilot driving lights which I had won at a 914 event sometime over a decade ago.



Last year I replaced the standard bulbs with LED bulbs. Super easy, as one of the shop had a direct replacement bulb for them.

LED all the things!

Did anyone buy the "Pilot" light lens protectors?

We make the lens protectors for OEM I'm sure you could use them

They are less than $10 for 2

Self healing? Really? How so?

The entire front end is clear bra'd on my car and it is self heeling too. Not sure exactly how but so far no marks in it.
