DanielC Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Looking for pictures of fog lights on a 521. This actually was a factory option. If you have put fog lights on a 521, what did you use? Close pictures of brackets a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I think Raymond has or had them on his? Or maybe his wagon? 1 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Pretty sure his had mount studs on the bottom that went through holes in the bumper. Everwings would be cool, but stupid expensive. Edited June 17, 2020 by mainer311 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 I had some vintage Carello driving lights mounted on the bumper of my 320. They weren't very bright, but they looked very period correct. 2 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Digging through my old stuff, I have found two Cibie series 35 fog lights, one amber, one clear. I was able to order a close to original factory fog light switch, and have installed it in Dragon's dashboard. I could drill holes in the bumper brackets, and mount the fog lights below the bumper, but that is a little low to the ground, more possibility of breaking the fog lights, and drilling a hole on the bumper bracket will weaken an already "pretty much for decoration only" bumper. 1 Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 The NOS eBay USA Thailand sourced 521 headlight switches are for the factory fog lamps! The knob/shaft TWISTS to turn on the fog lamps, but only in the running lights & headlights positions, not in the OFF position. You might have been the one to tell me that!!?? I bought one, likely won't use it........PM if interested! TJ 2 Quote Link to comment

TJ It would probably fit & function in a 410 or 411. 411s came pre wired for the for lamps but the fog lamp unique switch was not universally provided. Wires? Yes, Mounting holes in bumper? Yes, with filler plugs.. Proper switch? Maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't host & post pics, but if you would like to see pics of the headlight/fog lamp switch, PM me with email or text! FYI all of the wires ON the switch are black......not color coded.

DanielC Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I have already got the switch, and I put a stock 521 knob on it. The switch and wiring is the easy part. I am starting to lean toward modifying a spare set of bumper brackets with a thicker cross section, so drilling a hole in the brackets will not weaken them. But I realize a bumper on a 521 is pretty much decoration only, it was after 521 trucks were done being made that they started requiring 5 mph impact bumpers on cars. 1 Quote Link to comment
