So what arrangement have you got at the moment Ex? Is it the headlight/foglight combo or just a single round headlight and no foglight?

i got the single round head and little fogs in those horrid chrome surrounds but i was thinking of those light conversions you used to get for the boy racers mk5 escorts etc.
not seen them for t2 so thought id make some.so i will have 2 big lights on the front and put the fogs elsewhere

so really need ideas on light units and wireing etc
im sure a can make the surrounds in fibreglass or something

if like mine then smaller ones are fogs, but extremely bright and high set, more like dipped
main beam. could possibly wire them so as well as operating on fog circuit, come on with
main beam/flash. so if on sides or non flashing would light all four. Did have a pair of
9" oh - err mrs, truck driving lights with side light bulb built in. Perhap could get factory
fogs to illuminate as side lights are dip circuit.

believe dim / dip is set up where both bulbs og given circuit are in series for dip then
parallel'ed for main beam.

much bigger and would need to alter grill trim, note on terrano the fogs are at centre
line of main beam where as maverick's are above so potentially room for another mini
lamp beneath, almost like landy set up where second mini lamp is indicator and first
is side lamp. landy as defender and also latest retro rangey style.

Personally I'd have gone for a decent pair of driving lights, KC Hi-liters or something, but I've no idea where you'd put a mounting bracket without an ABar.....I haven't looked but surely you could get something made up that would fit....it would also save all that hacking about...
