Hi

I am thinking of replacing the four lamps in a line bracket for one that
sets the middle two (driving lamps) higher than the outer fog lamps.

I will probably make one (i have all the facilities at work), does any one
have an image or sketch of a proven design preferably with a method of
reducing the vibration, years ago it was an opened up worm drive clip but
surely technology has moved on since then.

Are P600 tyres still available in the UK, i have a brand new one on the
spare and would like to use it before it perishes and is useless anyway.
size is 145 x 12

cheers

Gary

Why reposition the lamps at all?
I ran my own lamp bar arrangement that placed 4 lamps in a line across the
bonnet slam panel. This way the grill was still removable for getting at the
distributor etc. I know that's less of a problem these days.
I find fog lamps to be of little use. Have you though of replacing them with
spots or driving lights?

Hi Gary,

One way of achieving this is to cut down your existing bar to hold just
the two inner lamps, you can then use the standard spotlight brackets
that fix onto the front bumper lip (they are a really firm fix). You
can see the design of these brackets via this link

I hope this helps.

Cheers
