Perfect fog lights

February 07, 2006, 08:44:19 PM

Well after a couple trips to different stores I found a set of Fog/Driving Lights that will fit perfect into the oval cutouts in the front bumper of my car. The only problem is that unless I find a way to make a custom mount I am going to have to take the bumper off, which I have never done. Is it difficult? Another thing is that the part I would be screwing the mount into is the fiberglass bumper stop thing. So should I just screw into it, or should I drill a hole and mount it using nuts and bolts? 5.8FastCat, you have really nice ones in there too, how did you get them mounted? Anyhow, Thanks for you input, and without further adue, the lights.

I got them at Pep Boys for the low low price of $20.00. Lets just hope that doesn't reflect their quality.

Bumper is really really easy.
I took mine off and put back on when I painted the car. Takes about 15 minutes -30 minutes depending on what kind of tools you got.

Front bumper I thought was the easiest. Just a matter of a couple screws and zip bang zam your done.

I had to do the same thing when I installed fog lights on my old 87 and the 88 I have now. I recommend drilling small holes and using self-tapping screws to install the lights.

With mine, I also drilled a couple of 3/8" holes in the underside of the bumper cover directly below the fog lights so I could get at the screws that held the bulbs in. I did this about a year later on the '87, after one of the bulbs burned out. Couldn't be seen with the car on the ground, but it made a helluva difference when it came to changing bulbs...

Yeah, that was another option. It's just such an akward place to get to with a screwdriver that I wanted to take the bumper off. It might actually be better to do it the other way however since the scoop for my ram air is screwed into the bumper, and while not difficult, it's kind of a pain in the ass to take off/put on. I appreciate all your guys help.
