Fog Fitting - The Hard Way

[Horness]

Has anyone here had the bumper assembly to pieces on a D2?

I am thinking of fitting a pair of Hella Micro DE fog lights into the bumper of my D1 (98 300 TDi) in a similar style to the D2's bumper.  The main reason is that I plan to trim the lower section at the same time, and don't want any lights underneath.  Fitting would mean cutting 2 holes into the bumper, not the end caps.


Are the "insets" to the fogs available as a seperate part, or are they part of the bumper?

Advice & opinions appreciated.

PS:  Hopefully resulting in this:

think the only way is to get an old bumper beam off a td5 & cut the brackets off & then weld them to the back of your bumper, but be warned the fogs are expencive ,

I already have the fogs (well, awaiting delivery, thank you eBay), which come with all the mounts.

It's more to do with the presentation of the whole thing once I cut a couple of holes into the bumper.  Then comes the angle of the beam once they are mounted into the bumper.  :roll:

''Inserts'' do you mean the round painted bits ?, if so they are part of the end caps, from memory you will have to do quite a bit of trickery with bolts ect to make them fit, hope this make ssense :shock: ,

Once I get the lights and crawl under the bumper of my 300, I'll see what I can come up with... Blue Peter Stylee..  :lol:
