Spots in front bumper

Hiya,

Anyone installed spots in the front bumper of an MCS? Sort of Scooby style?

The black inserts (that look like vents) are just the right shape and size to fit some large-ish spots at the outer edges.

You mean the holes for the Fog Lights?
I thought driving lights were better if they were mounted higher on the vehicle

There's been a few people who've mounted lights in the lower grill area.

Obehave is correct about the mounting height. Driving lights mounted that low on the car lose some of their functionability.

Thats just what I use mine for!

I've noticed that the newest shape Fiesta has some really bright fog lights which always do a good job at dazzling me

In the UK it's illegal to use lights mounted below a certain height (18"?) unless it's foggy or snowing.

I mounted some KC daylighters at bumper level. The wife has yet to cursh them, as many though she would
