Feck, forgot about that. I wanted it :( How much did it go for in the end?

Does it come with an OEM front foglight switch?

[Lynsey]

lol

I love those :) If I didn't have the 'plough front I'd have that instead :)

Fod light switch is already there isn't it? I thought you just pop the front off and there it is. Hmm maybe not.

[Sloth]

glad ya got it bm. good to see one of these.

[sport]

You could fit the 'plough to the bumper in the instructions thats been posted up.

The switch aint there either.

[AlexW]

This was Kevo16v's? Will be intersted in seeing this fitted.

[bmw156]

is that right??

[Jack]

Using them as driving lights (i.e. full beam), thats correct.

are you being sarcastic RJ because i thought they were only fog lights so when i pressed my button they came on, do they come on when i flick to high beam??

pick fitted...

im actually loving it now
deffinitly a grower

will upload some more pics to my WIP when they are wired up etc

[vaughanmc]

Doesn't look as bad/cheesy as I thought it would

Get some daylight pics and some pics of them working :)

[bmw156]

deffo a grower yeh lol

[Welsh Dan]

Up there they're driving lights, as described in the paperwork :p.

Driving lights are best up high so you can see potholes etc..

Fog lights are best low down so they light the road not the fog.

ok lol so does the nova have fogs on the front as it is??
are they incoprorated in the main lights??

[Welsh Dan]

No they don't.

Some nova's had foglights in the SR/GTE style bumpers, as a dealer fitted option.

[Jack]

Can't see the pics at work :(


are you being sarcastic RJ because i thought they were only fog lights so when i pressed my button they came on, do they come on when i flick to high beam??
No :confused: I mean the way you've wired them is to take a feed from the main beam, i.e. driving lights. That explains the lack of switch (and as Dan said, the height of them).

Look for pics of Mikey14sr's old Nova to see what the OEM Mk1 foglamps looked like. Sturge now has them.

[edit] And get some HIDs in there :D

[bmw156]

o right cool, gonna hopefully wire them soon as i wanna see them working as well.
and that is the way the diagrame tells me to wire them lol.

[kevo16v]

Looks good matey, glad you like it :thumb:

[Shaun_O'Donnell]

Looks excellent, are you sure you want to paint it?

I prefer it as is.

[craig green]

Liking that.
I couldnt get online to bid on it as I've always liked that grille. So well done.

Is that from a maxpower issue about 8/9 years ago. I think I still have it somewhere!!!

The driving lights must be a fairly rare item these days. Look after them.

Defiantly a grower though :thumb:

[bmw156]

nahhh not going to paint those
maybe back to black them in ten years when they fade lol
if i painted them it would be to far from what the car was standard
maybe if it was a mk2 then i would paint
were these available for a mk2?

and does anyone know of anyone else on here with them??
