Hy Buddies,

I need an information. My car was on the road for the first time in february 1995. She hasn't fog light. I see two shapes, round ones and rectangular ones. When did the style changed ? Which ones seems to be "the best" (of course, depend on the bulb i do imagine)...

What does your front bumper look like? Does it have an outline for a cut-out for the fog-lights? We had a 1993 850 GLT and if you look at the picture carefully you can see the shape of the cut-out in the corner of the bumper. This looks like a kind of rectangular shape between the round hole for the tow eye and the scrap on the lower left side of the bumper as you see it.

Then our 97 850 NA SE had the round ones. Again they had the cut outs in the bumper for them.

So I would check your bumper to see if it has these cut-outs in them. If not is never was spec'd for them and may not have the wiring for them.
