you should have the brackets to do the job, if not........get some!
then its easier to take the bumper off and do it. offer up the bracket to the back of the bumper iron, it'll be obvious how it sits and use the (captive) bolts to tighten it down, do something similar for the lamp end of the bracket. then do the same the other side!
if your any way logically minded it'll take about 20mins.

should be some wires hanging about behind the bumper.

You could use a spare indicator plug and use that to clip onto you fogs. then wire that to the fog switch etc etc

The wires will be up behind the header tank, yould be a 2 pin connector I think with a white/yellow wire IIRC

You don't need to wire anything to the fogswitch.
Look under the header tank, there is a plug there.  Plug your foglight loom into this  :smiley:

You mean cut out the holes?  Yes you do  :smiley:

Or do you mean remove the lower valance and plastic bit that you see on small bumper models? Yes you do  :grin:

yeah used to be a small bumper model so it has a plastic bit behind the big bumper

Title: Re: Big Bumper Fog Lights
Post by: rubjonny on 01 February 2005, 16:41

Dont need it or the metal chin bit, just remove whatever you have to to get the fogs to fit :smiley:
