Cool Hmmm

It's way to expensive! 40 for the pair!

What else can i stick there? Did Ford make fog lamps to fit in there?

How about cutting the strips out on either side...?

EDIT - I mean the strips that the black parts sit on.

Hella make some nice slim-line flat fog lamps that fit there.
I just bought a pair ... not really off the shelf though ... had to look through the Hella catalogue to find them.

I just need to find the time to fit them now.

I think they were around the $130-$140 mark

Can you advise the product number of the lights? I have looked around and cannot find anything suitable. I have an AU1 Ghia and have one plastic insert missing as well.

Cheers
