I think yellow fogs would finish the look.

got the Pilot driving lights installed, finally. did it without removing the bumper or valence. I started a hex (allen) bolt and then slid the mounting bracket (with the bottom cut out) over the bolt. then i was able to tighten it with a balled-end allen wrench. got a fog light switch. now just need to do the wiring. my goal is to have headlights down on the first switch stop. i also want to be able to "flash" the driving lights with the turn signal arm. also installed Hella 7" H4's. that should do it.

I am in the process of doing the same thing, but I found stock lights at the various swap meets (2x at Pomona). I ahve brackets and new seals too.

I need a switch too. Found one that was similar, looks like the rear defrost switch, but it has a long neck and I doubt it will fit.

I believe the car is prewired for the lights, but not sure as I have not looked under the dash yet. I will be checking in a few days.

Does anyone know where the relay for the fog lights is?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

I read through Demicks upgrade and installed the Pilot lights. I used his template for the bracket and made my own brackets. It came out pretty good. The brackets brought the light forward some to almost sit flush with the rear of the foglight grill.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Geoff, I am going to do a five lug conversion, flares and repaint. I will be selling these fuchs to help fund the others, so yes I will be getting rid of the 165's, for some reason the PO liked the 165's.

finally got all the lights the way I want them. Head light switch re-wired so that lamps stay down till the second stop. Amber lights and tail lights come on at the first stop. The Pilot driving lights are wired in using the fog lamp switch and fuse.

I know we've discussed this before. How'd you do it? What year is your car anyway (I don't recall, I do remember it's a conversion car right)? I ask because the early cars are different than the later models in this regard.

Jeff's car is a '70 factory six. I know it well. Used to be in my garage. Hope I'm not offending by speaking for him.

Gint,

Actually, I gathered up the information contained in the attachment and a friend of mine rewired the switch using these instructions. I am not sure exactly what he did, but I assume the instructions were enough for him. I hope they work for you. If you rewire the switch, please post what you did.

I saw that thread. Thanks for posting the info. What version of Word was that file saved as? I'm having some trouble with part of the file here at work. But that's no surprise.

OK, it looks like that doc is a Word 8. Can you do me a favor? I don't have that late a version of Word anywhere. Can you save it and re-attach the file as an older version of Word?

Dino, the light in the link you posted might be too small. The 193 is 4.5" and the 362 is 4".
