BLOZ UP Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I'm looking for those 70s/80s style round yellow fog lights, to put on my Z. Anyone know where to get a pair? Quote Link to comment
Zfighter76 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 harley davidson fogs are tight and have cool chrome mounts and bezels Quote Link to comment
FireFighterZach Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 easy way is to buy regular fogs, and use stained glass paint by krylon and paint the glass yellow, cheap to do, easy to find good luck 1 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Mercedes from a junk yard will require some fab work so it doesn't hit/ground out against core support. or Wagner makes yellow lights. Part no. 4412A. Fits right in. Quote Link to comment
Zfighter76 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 also he said for a z car, wouldnt the merc lenses be the wrong size? they would fit the trucks right? maybe he means secondary lights like to put in the grille or something Quote Link to comment

I missed the Z car part. I want to say the Z cars also have a 5 3/4" headlight. But I am not positive. They're out there. I know Hella makes lens covers for their conversion headlight housings.

Laecaon Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Z car is 7inch round. They are also single round, so are both high/low. You will not find an OEM yellow lense that is High/low for your Z car. Buy glass paint. Or buy yellow headlight film. Quote Link to comment

Or buy yellow headlight film. since he's saying fog lights i'm assuming he means secondary lights that will be added on like forward racing lights. i test fitted a set of harley fogs from my friends bike and they looked great in the grille of the z, with the chrome bezel and chrome mounting bars Quote Link to comment
BLOZ UP Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Yes, secondaries. Like these: http://www.webstore.com/Marchal-900-Rally-Fog-Lights-Vintage-NOS-Simca-BMW-Porsche,name,7668520,auction_id,auction_details Like this: Only on a datsun. And yellow. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 They're out there. I mentioned Hella in an earlier post. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment
BLOZ UP Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I think Hella sells what I need. The right lamps and colored covers to go over them as well. Quote Link to comment
Zfighter76 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 mounting thoughs? youre going to put on bumper? what looks nice is below the grille when the bumper is removed, or when 240z bumpers are used. smaller ones fit the look of the car nicer than the big ones as used on that 2002 in the picture Quote Link to comment
BLOZ UP Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Don't know if my bumper will ever fit again, so probably behind the grill or right in front of it. Somehow. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I always try to hide them behind the grill. No fog or driving lamps look good mounted up front. Unless a factory option. (just the purist in me I guess) Fog lamps are designed to have a wide side to side but narrow top to bottom beam pattern. This reduces the light reflected back at the driver. Think of Star Trek warp speed when using high beams in a snow storm. The yellow color also helps improve depth perception compared to foggy grey. Any coating on a headlamp will reduce the light output. So you must weigh seeing properly, (safety) against style or what's in fashion. Dedicated amber fog lamps are best and allow the use of factory lamps.. Quote Link to comment
