Guys,
I just moved out to a rural area to live and I need tips on fog lights to add to my 850. It gets very foggy out here and they would help a great deal.

1) Placement and or mounting tips?
2) Specific brand or models would be great.

PICs are always great!! for ideals. PM me.

Thanks

 

Your car should be prewired. So you can locate something that you like the looks of and then install them.
They ususally mount to the aluminum part of the bumper.
If you use the factory wiring you will need to buy a switch and a relay. Then install. Oh and also a fuse.
Here is a link to a site for a wiring diagram.That should help you with the relay and fuse part of it.
The switch will go to the dash on the left side of the steering wheel by the Headlight switch.

If you would like a factory fog-light look, then you will need to purchase an 850-R or 850 Platninum Edition style bumper.

Hella are my favorite fog lights...

Don't forget to install a nice pair of deer whistles --

Project #2 -- Hiding deer whistles behind vents in air dam.

I bought a nice set of deer warning whistles made by Bell Automotive. I
found mine at Wal-Mart. They are two-piece such that the whistle can be
removed and re-attached to its base.

I observed the location of torx screws fastening the front air dam to the
bumper. I drilled out the rear hole of each of deer whistle mounting base to
allow for the diameter of torx screw.

I removed and used torx screws to fasten deer whistle mounting bases behind
black inserts in front air dam. I removed double-side tape and added a dab
of Permatex Black RTV to each mounting base.

Yeah I would get an 850R bumper and get some stock foglights and replace the bulbs with Sylvania Silverstars and or an HID upgrade kit.
