Default Phase One front fog retrofit

I can have a bargain on front foggies for my P1 S40 1.9TD
Is it easy to put these in, and what do i need next to the lamp assemblies themselves ?

Hey up,

It is my understanding that on a phase 1 car, you just need the lights and the switch if the wiring is already present in the car.

Many Thanks,

Daniel

Hey up,

Try local breakers, dismantlers and scrap yards.

The salvo group do mail order. They should have it all.

If you look on eBay for people breaking whole cars with fog lights, then contact them for the specific parts.

Many Thanks,

Daniel

Can I jump in and ask how easy it is to get the under tray off and remove the fogs, mine don't work and there cracked I have some plastic things that cover the holes. Is the under tray bolted on?.

Hey up,

The diesel problem is true. It would need double checking!

The undertray on my car is a few clips.

Then there are 4 obvious bolts that then allow the whole lower front bumper to come off. All in all, very easy.

Many Thanks,

Daniel.
