Default dimensions of 944 foglights

Anyone have a 944 foglight handy to give me the dimensions including the angle of the black housing in the back. A picture with the dimensions would be ideal, but measurments alone would be fine.
I'm figuring out how to put fog or driving lights in the bumper a la Euro spec, but without the outrageous cost. TIA.

I've got a couple at home, I can check back later and see if you still need the dimensions in 5 hours when I get home.

okay, my measurements...


US:
Lens: about 3" x 6"

Euro:
Lens: 2.75" x 5.5" or 7cm x 14.5cm
Front Housing: 8.5cm x 19cm
Rear housing:
height- 8cm
width, widest part- 17cm The shape is 6 sided, I'll take pics later
depth: 8.25 cm

someone with a US fog light out of the car, plz take those measurements, more acurately

Interesting #'s on the euro lens:
bottom left hand corner: Hella 122349 2-A-118124 (lens number?)
Center: 24 420 R7, 21 630 R7, 24 420 R8 (bulb numbers maybe??)
Main Bulb: Jahn H3, 12v55w, 37R E1 00610
Secondary bulb, not sure how to remove..... I DON'T want to brake them! are these like running lights?

How to get a replacement lens?, or two that match?
How to wire? ( have the cut wiring harnesses, ready for splicing)
Bulb suggestions...
Decode the Hella Part #'s? (iceshark?)

Anyone....

thanks for the info macfreak007. From my obesrvations the width must be under 6" to fit between the bracket welded in for the turn signal and the bracket for the bumper shock. I think I've figured out how to do this if I find the correct size light, which may need to be aftermarket. I'll try to take pictures of what I'm planning on doing so others can help get this going. Euro bumpers are just too $$$ and hard to get. BTW, anyone have suggestions on the best way to cut the metal of the bumper? I haven't figured that out yet.

Macfreak007-since you seemed to be interested, I'm using an aftermarket foglight set I had around, my whole point was to make it cheap, so I'll take pictures when I finish and if you want the specs, I'll pass them along to you.

so these are not fitting in a euro bumper, just a modified US one?
I thought about doing that, I ended up finding a set of euro bumpers though.


anyone know of some decent aftermarket lights that I could mount up in a euro front bumper, or a way to get a replacement lens on a euro driving light?
