Hi,
Could anyone tell me if these fog lights and surrounds are an original option or has somebody had them made up, they look really well made (the surrounds). Regards Carl Attached thumbnail(s)

They could be off of a '75-76 big rubber bumper, but they are not correct for that bumper.

Yea they are the original cutouts, and the surrounds which look factory made rather than home made, use the correct fixing holes, maybe they are just really well made (home made).

The original fog lights would have been round with a plastic vented grill around them. These look to be aftermarket ones someone has placed in the original location.

The 75-76 fog lights bolt to tabs that are part of the metal part of the big black bumper. The 75-76 that came without the fog lights did not have the metal tabs.

All chrome and painted steel bumpers if they had fog lights were round. That is fabricated by a custom shop. |
