Front Driving Lights inplace of Fog lights
Hi guys,
I am thinking of fitting a set of driving lights in the bottom bumper, like the ss Commodores and XR Falcons. I know they work really well there and was thinking f doing it to mine.

Has anyone done this and how much

Cheers
Brett

I really think that my fuel economy is the same as my UTE ( 5.4 ltr vs 1.6ltr )

I like that idea Brett. Would also be interested to know if it could be done.

Does the Ute get revved to 7000 on a regular basis?

Hang on, what am I saying, this is Trelo

Some say he loves gaming and that he also loves house work..... All we know is, he's called The ScottyB!

The lights in the bumper on SS commodes are definitely foglights, and don't actually comply with the ADR's (they don't have the appropriate markings). Holden gets away with it because they are Holden....
Inappropriate use of foglights is one of my pet peeves...
