driving/fog light assistance

EB-maen · 25-08-2005, 01:27 AM

Now that I'm holidays I've decided to do a bit of hunting and grab some bits and pieces to finish off the car a bit more, nameley some driving lights for the front bar (EB GT). I measured the diameter of the housing as best I could and it's approximately 100mm (around 4" I guess) and I went out and had a look at supercheap, repco autobarn etc but their range wasnt all that fantastic and most of the lights they had were 16cm and above.

I'm not really concerned about the quality as I feel it's best to stay out of the whole legality-of-turning-them-on debacle (plus I have absolutely no need for their use, it's just a looks thing) so I'm basically after something that will fille the holes and looks reasonably good. I've had a search around ebay and couldn't find anything there, and some searches for light manufacturers wasn't really a great success as I'm not planning on spending like upwards of $200 on some Hellas or anything, so I'm wondering if anyone else knows of an online parts place that stocks what I'm after or if anyone has something lying around, and what would be the best way to go about fixing them to it? Aside from going to Ford, that is if they even stock EB GT replacement lights thesedays and wont ask for a human sacrifice in order to allow purchasing.

Thanks

I was recently at Kmart and noticed that there "$40" driving lights they sell are 4" in size. I was going to use some for when i fit a moffat bar to my car. They also had "angel eye's" in them just for the **** factor ;)

Hmm, sounds interesting; I might duck down there tomorrow (today i guess) and have a look see. I think I might pass on the angel eyes though, lol :P.
Thanks for that

Np ;) I know it sounds dodgy thinking of buying some from Kmart, but Marlows use to sell these "autotechnia (I think)" driving lights but I havent seen them elsewhere since there closing. The model number were like 32xx I think.

There used to be a light taht was 4" (100mm) in diameter years ago. 100W landing lights they were called. BLOODY brilliant with a sealed beam in them. Might be worth trying a repco store and see if they still have them? I think they were Narva? Cant remember, was 25 years ago I sold them
