Default New fog lights

I noticed at the annual meet this year that some of the D2s had fog lights that really put mine to shame.

The lenses on mine are badly stone chipped and, with the lights off, looked pretty rubbish parked next to some other D2s (but realising that I do over 10x the annual mileage in mine than some, perhaps that's not surprising).

So, I splashed out (less than £50 a pair! ) and ordered new ones. Can't wait to get them fitted!

Hi The Laird,where did you get your foglights from because £50 a pair sounds a good price.

I got the lights on ebay - I'll look for the link later. And I already have HID bulbs in the fog lights, so no further upgrade required.

Bought the fog lights from this guy: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/panel_spra...78.m2749.l2654

But he doesn't seem to have any just now
