Default fog light question

I have an 85.5 N/A that has a turbo nose on it. It does no have fog lights on it. Just two big holes. What do I need to put in there? And where can I get them? I bought two fog lights off of ebay, but they must be for a N/A because they are too small to fit.

post a pic of the fogs that you need and the ones that you bought so we can better analize.


P.S. i may buy the ones that you got off of ebay if they are not what you need.

Yeah it sounds like you need the Turbo foggies... Check out their price for new lenses...
When I first saw how much turbo fogs cost, I crapped my pants.

I've got a set of used turbo fog lenses i'd sell. They have 90k miles on them so they aren't perfect, but there are no cracks or large pits. I assume you'd also need the plastic housing that the lenses mount to also.

Here's a pic of the front of the car. And of one of the lights I bought off of Ebay. I have looked all over the light and can't find a part number. If I buy just the lenses how would I mount them?

I remembered seeing them once before somewhere. And remember that they were $$$$$$. It didn't occur to me until I got them that they were probably for N/A not turbo. When I ordered a cover for it I told them it was an NA. I forgot that with the turbo nose it's a few inches longer. The cover doesn't like to stay on if it's windy.

You'll need a left and a right, and then the little tabs on the end that cover them. And a lot of money. (or just wait until a set shows up on ebay and be prepared for a sniping war when the auction ends)

Is there anywhere under the car to plug them in? Or would I have to run wire to somewhere? I would be happy just to have the holes filled, even if the lights don't work.

If you're looking to get rid of the N/A lights, let me know as a I need a drivers side lens.

Look for tifosiman- I really like what he installed in place of foglights. (brake cooling ducts?)

The turbos already have brake cooling ducts built into the lower area of the bumper below the fogs, so my guess is he probably just rerouted the tubing to the upper intakes.
