Cant find a place for foglights for my 3rd gen bird
Cant find a place for foglights for my 3rd gen bird
i have a 86'firebird with those rubber or vinal inserts below the headlights. i really want to put foglights on but no where to put them!. any suggetions or a pic of a third gen bird with one?
I've been toying with the idea of putting the lights right into those black areas. I'd use a sort of oval-ish light, and cut it in. Hart to say if it'll work well, but maybe I'll try it on a junker first....

Hey man, if you have the money, try and pick p a nose from a T/A. You can find decent ones around for fairly cheap (at least around here)
Then you will have your fog light cut-outs already.
Take care

Right under the front bumper you'll find 2 honeycomb plastic thingies, each held on with a single bolt. I mounted my fogs right to that on my 86 Firebird. It's a great place to mount them to. Just slide under the front of the car and you can't miss them.

I was thinking about taking a hole saw, probably about 2" in diamter, getting some round driving lights from some place like JC Whitney, or Summit, and making t holes in those black bumpers like discussed before. If you paint everything black in the hole you would not see anything but the lights if you do it right.
Get yourself a T/A driving light switch from a junk yard a relay to run the lights, and it would probably look & work great. (almost stock if you relly do a clean job.
