Mounting bracket question?

Post by Mr. Detail »

I found a pair of OE fog lamps for my 2002 V70 Base but I wondered if behind those plastic cutout areas in the shape of the fog lamp there are some existing bracketry ready to go for me to mount to? The OE lamps have those three pronged mounting pieces of steel.

The "mounting bracket" is integrated into the bumper cover. Screws and clips hold it on to the bumper cover.
  • 1. The blank that is in there now should have all the mounting hardware you need.
    2. You will need to change the light switch or install a fog light button and lamp in the switch that is there.
    3. I think you will need to install a relay on the CEM for the fog lights.
    4. You will need to set a flag in with VIDA so the CEM knows fog lights are installed. This does not require a software reload. You change the settings of the software that is installed. This can be done with a DiCE clone.
