[color=#000000ost_uid0]i was stunned when i found out the price from Mazda, too!
you could easily get a set of Narva/Hella fog lights in a rectangular shape that are more or less the same size as the factory ones for just over $100 oh, Hardtop or Hatch? as the Hardtop has round ones, while the Hatch has rectangular ones. cheers Dan[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]hahaha bloody mazda,
I wanted fog lights once and i asked my macanic how much it was, and he said orginal madza fog lights were $160 (or was it $260) each. I thought that was expensive at the time, but $500, what a bloody mark up for ppl who aren't connected. if u really want mazda fog lights, try going to a macanic and then ask them to order and install it for u. ask for the price first though.[/colorost_uid0] |

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Have a look under the "For Sale" forum, then look for a WTB: Fog Lights started by me (MrShadow). It should help.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Marinade,
Checkout my post from December, It's a bit involved but should help you Yes I did buy the switch it fits the standard Aussie spec wiring and blends into the dash. My switch is presently opperating the aircon and doing a fine job with it. The relay is a headlight relay from an '82 929 I had sitting 'round.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]They were actually spotlights not fogs. Leftovers from
my HQ days. I never bothered to wire them in as I didn't like them all that much after I stuck them in, just had them in for a couple of months after I had gone to all the trouble sticking them in. Here's what it looked like anyway. http://www.astinagt.com/whiteline.html Regards Mal[/colorost_uid1]
