I will warn you mate these pics are great took them when it stoped raining for 5 mins

Image


They are black in mine as when I had the bumper done I told the guy to kept them spray it with them in If he felt they might brake when trying to remove them. They are grey square shape with a hole in for the screw which you push into the bumper.



Image
Image

To tell the truth you could prob use any screw as long as they are long enough.

If you cant get either you could prob use a small nut and bolt, but thats up to you.

Just be very careful when trying to remove the screw holders they are only plastic and will prob brake easy.

Right so I got home at 6:45 and thought b*******s I'm doing it and so it begun...

First stop maplins for some crimps which is conviently just down the road

Image

So you all know how to crimp wires it's not hard we've all done it blah blah blah, the result...

Image

Image

Image

One working foggy :D

Next...

I had protected the connections with electrical tape so took it off to reveal

Image

Then I realised the lock in on the other connector had broke...

... At this point I realised I was having a mare.

Image


Image

Was a little unsure of what to do but I figured I'd started so il carry on cable tied a secure connection

Image

Image

Found some trainers,

Image

Electric tape around the connections to ensure water doesn't interfere.

Image

Image

Next were the bolts I got from BNQ there 3/16 bolts zinc coated to last against rust,

Image

BOOM !!.

Image

Image

As the car came with fogs I already had the grills so popped em on.

Image

Image

And the twins together...

Image

Image

And the finished product...

Image

Image

You all said my car was screaming out for them and eventually I agreed so comments anyone ?. :D
