Upgrading to headlights and foglights

Post by DavidA »

I'm thinking of upgrading my 940 with standard headlights to the headlights with foglights beside the headlights (not E-code). Has anyone ever done this? I'm getting them from a junk yard, and they have the small panel underneath in my car's color, but I will need to buy a egg carton grill, it's been pulled already. Will I need to modify the area around the headlights for the housing to mount, or should I be able to drop them right in? Can I use the turn signals I have on my car, just switch them to the new housing or will I need new ones (the ones with the fog lights have been bashed in)?

I converted my 93 940 to factory fog and I had to change the mounting brackets, corner lights, and did NOT change the grille. It took a little work to get the old grille in but I looks good.
The glass headlights are a little better than the old plastic ones and I did order some yellow 881 fog bulbs and it looks cool
