is it possible to fit fog lights to a car without holes in the bumper is it just a matter of cutting out the holes and fitting lights to the frame behind or do i need a different frame at the back
also would the wiring be there or would i have to wire it seperatly

you can unscrew the fog light plates outs and behide that you will see the wiring for them :y

The black section of the bumper is the same for cars both with & without fog lights.
Have you loked for the wiring? My 78 Cavalier coupe had the wiring in place, just needed a relay &switch .... not that I ever did. ;) :y

havent looked yet every time i do get 5 mins and its not raining or dark swmbo pinches the car
the thought only occured to me whilst changing the foglight on the elite last weekend
i will have a look this weekend hopefully
my 86 manta was the same all the wiring in place
but every add on ive looked at so far on it as its a lowly gls there is no wiring

had a look tonight by torch light and there are no spare plugs in the area i would expect to see them does that mean i am stuffed before i start :question

No I dont think your stuffed!! Best thing to do is to look under the bumper in daylight, you'll see that they are taped up out the way. on the crossmember I think, Ive got a GLS spec miggy & I did exactly what you want to do. hope this helps :y

thats great thanks omega vxr will have a closer look at the weekend then weather permitting

to fit the fogs, you will need to change the colour coded panel section of the front bumper, as its not possible to cut out the hold for the fogs due to the shape of the bumper in that area, I know Ive tried on the v6 estate.
I ended up getting another panel that was the same colour and precut from a cdx model,
The wiring for the fogs is notmally clipped to the bumper support panel, not the crossmember, removing the black vents on the bumper should allow you to see them.
My v6 estate doesnt have the wiring for the fogs at all, but whoe cares its Illegal to use them in this country anyways, unless visibilty is less than 100m, which it hardly ever does.
:y
btw what colour is the car? I have a spare panel withthe cut outs, in metallic blue.
