Okay, just noticed on this site (thanks Smally) it has some GP front fog lights listed, there are two models: "Not Sport" and "Sport".

I am guessing this refers to the Sporting models and not, but I never knew the Sporting had different fog lights, so whats the difference?

Thanks ;)

To get to the site goto: http://www.shop4parts.co.uk/index.cfm?action=catalogue.list

Thanks once again Smally (y)

Now to decide...
 
Cool well we got black cars and so I think it will suit it better :)

How hard were they to fit? I have had a look at the guide, but can you put the switch on the lights panel (right of the steering wheel) just above where the rear fog light button is?

I did look into this,you would need to carefully dismantle the switch to drill it or fit a surface mounted switch...due to time retsriction (thus customers money) from my point of view it isn't financially viable but might be from yours.

The wiring is not there for front fogs at the switch incase your wondering.

Oh I see. What would happen if I went to a dealer and asked them to fit it, would they put the switch there?

Thanks.
 
IIRC you cant use that blank (somewhere in t-s guide mentions it) its one of those soft touch non-latching buttons which is linked into the cars body computer that controls the rear fog light as well as the multifunction display...

would be more hastle than its worth building some form of Thyristor based circuit to make it work...

what i did was mount a switch near the handbrake

Looks good to be honest, do you think the Sport ones would suit a black GP?

Thanks for all the help.
 
Cheers. Looks nice mate, really gives the car some contrast at the front (y)
