OEM Fog Lamps + Auto_bahn front
 
So, I did an extensive search on this and called a couple of places but unfortunately, I didn't find the answer. So, my question is, will the OEM fog lamps be able to mount onto the Auto_bahn front bumper? First person to answer will get a cookie. :)

Jedi54 03-20-2008 12:19 PM

answer: no.
Requires some custom fab work

Spinning Sushi 03-20-2008 12:21 PM

Yay, now question #2. What fogs are these? Will they be able to connect to the OEM fog connectors?

Jedi, I'll give you a cookie the next time I see you at some meet. :p:

Spinning Sushi 03-20-2008 12:31 PM

Paging Ngo!

I was asking my friend the exact same thing regarding the fogs. I just started putting my autobahn on the vr, however there is a gap on the sides so its gonna require some work. If i could find out what fogs are those, it would be great.

Spinning Sushi 03-20-2008 01:04 PM

Same goes for me, I want to use my OEM fogs on the Auto_bahn kit, I don't want to have the fog light switch on my stalk to be useless. Also, the aftermarket fog lights in the picture is hot! :)

Jedi54 03-20-2008 01:07 PM

did you PM the guy whose car it was?
Break out the bat signal to get Ngo's attention

Spinning Sushi 03-20-2008 01:17 PM

The thing is I don't know who's car that is. It was a picture used for Shine Auto's group buy and apparantly, it's not their car. I PM'd Ngo already... just awaiting reply. :)

Jedi54 03-20-2008 01:26 PM

I've seen that picture before, not just on their GB thread. Hmmmm....

Spinning Sushi 03-20-2008 01:30 PM

I think you saw it from the Autobacs in Japan thread. The car's RHD and by guessing from the signs in the background, it's located in Japan.

Jedi54 03-20-2008 01:54 PM

negative ghost rider, saw it elsewhere. Let the search begin...

Spinning Sushi 03-20-2008 01:55 PM

Lol, I've been searching. I'm sorta desperate...

act out of desperation you should not. Clouded your vision will be.

that rx-8 belongs to D'mix from Japan. The first ever au-to bahn owner on our forum.

He has since changed his fogs but he hasn't signed on since middle of last year.

All I know is they are from a company called Nervo. Japan stationed so won't find it online.

Your best bet is to just find a set of aftermarket fogs you like with an H-11 housing and bulb. Aftermarket fogs all come with mounting brackets where you will drill into the bumper from underneath to secure them.

Spinning Sushi 03-20-2008 02:22 PM

Thanks for the information Ngo. :)

Another suggestion would be to use the Mazdaspeed fog light bracket, that may be easier to custom install and will support the stock fogs.

Jedi54 03-20-2008 02:31 PM

yeah, I was thinking modifying the MS might be the way to go

Spinning Sushi 03-20-2008 02:32 PM

Isn't the bracket designed specifically for the MazdaSpeed kit?

Spinning Sushi 03-20-2008 02:33 PM

Also, anyone here have pictures of the bracket?

Edit: They're pretty expensive for just a bracket. I can't find pictures. I might fab them myself if I can see the pics of the MazdaSpeed ones.

Jedi54 03-20-2008 02:39 PM

kwescott might have pics.
Yes, designed for MS but you'll just need to modify it a bit.

Spinning Sushi 03-20-2008 02:41 PM

I ran a search on kwescott and with bracket and fogs in the search field. I found a couple of threads that talked about the brackets but unfortunately there were no pictures of it.

Jedi54 03-20-2008 02:42 PM

he might have a pic on his computer though.

Spinning Sushi 03-20-2008 02:44 PM

I just PM'ed him. :)
