I can see clearly now...

Just spent part of the afternoon installing a slightly used but good set of Carello fog lights and a set of the Euro projector beam head lights on the ol gal. I have to readily admit that I bypassed the whole wiring conundrum by buying a set of lights from BBer TJ who had already wired the set for plug and play.

The most time was spent priming and painting the lower strip gloss black to match my somewhat patchy paint job.

As for the fogs, I used some toothpaste to clean/clear the glass of some scratches and then cut and applied plastic covers to protect the lenses from rock chips. You can see how the old fogs met their fate....!

Looks good. Make sure to get those fog frames secured, they are most likely gone and fall off all the time.
I am also making up Fog and headlamps film covers for the euro lamps and LS and rest fog lamps. Coming soon.

Looks Great!

Ron it is looking good how is it doing overall so far for you? The Wife sure misses this car a lot but it is in good hands.
