Alternative fog lights?

Post by a57737 »

Just bought a MK2 scala without fog lights.

Although I like the look, I did use the fog lights on my old one quite a lot.

I'm looking for a discrete alternative.

Any ideas?

Although if you like the look getting an upgraded headlight loom might be the best bet

I've thought about hiding them behind the grill!

yup, that's the car i was thinking of. you could try going for some lights that are a bit more subtle than the originals though. how about some round projector ones? i've been trying to think what car i've seen them on, but my brain has gone blank. could be the bmw mini or something like that

Looking at these atm, if I put them under the bumper they'll be almost invisible. Bit chavvy I know, but I only want the function, not the fasion. Want them as well hidden as possible.
