Can any of you guy on here tell me where I can get my hand on a set of Facelift fog lamps. They cost an arm and a leg over here in Ireland

Hi,

I have been looking for them as well but they cost as much over here in Australia..

Besides, you should have more access to those over there then here!
You guys have more FTOs over there then here in Aust.

Most of the places here don't even hold them because they are just too expensive.

I have gotten in touch with some wreckers in UK who have them as a second hand, and they are a little bit cheaper, but not by much!

Thanks,

I went to a wreckers yard the weekend and got my hands on a set of spots off a Volkswagen Polo. They are a perfect fit for the opening on the facelift bumper.

Where in the UK did you locate wreckers with th lamp for sale.
I have tried but failed.

Anyway I will fit the Polo lamps as they look better anyway. And they only cost 60euro each from a main Volkswagen dealer.

Hi,

I have heard about the Polo fog lights as well...

But I was wondering if you fit these ones in, then is your parking light still going to work as well?

Since up to 96 model, the fog light also has the parker light as well. Is the Polo one the same?

Could you let me know as you are going to put them on.

Thanks,

These are not the lights I used but these look good too. If you need more info on the lights at the above link check out this link. http://www.cibie.com/Page/ScModuler/index.htm. Basically what we need is a suitable 80mm diameter spot light and to hell with Mitsubishi. I am sure these are available in Australia.

I still think the fogs off a VW Polo and the indicators from a VW Lupo look a lot better.

I will post a picture of what my conversion looks like in the next couple of days.

One thing I have noticed about the CIBIE lamps is that they sit behind the opening in the bumper, whereas the VW Polo lamps fit into the opening and look as if they are original
