Low cost compliant Fog lights

Post by wjw »

What would you buy?

They need to be true fog lights, not the Chinese non compliant versions.

LED and HID are loadsa money $700+ for compliant ones

Hella 500 series Halogen Fogs.... ??? with 100W upgrade? can get matching spotties then too

Always hella.
find an older catalogue to get the old comet style and they'll be cheaper.
also most place should do 45% off retail for ya.

reasonable price. but add freight to that.

retail those are about $88 per lamp in nz. You'll be able to get trade from TWL or something no doubt.

Couldn’t get any reasonable second hand or new ones price or condition wise, ended up buying a set of 4 from amazon for $200, 2 spots, 2 fogs, covers & looms.
