WTB: [NSW] BJII Front fog lights for nonSP20

Hey guys,

I'm after foglights for my astina... With the wiring loom and switch (preferably).

Alternatively I'm open for suggestions on how I can see further than my highbeams on country roads... I've almost hit a few roo's, 1 wild horse, 6 rabbits, and 2 hitch hikers. The high beams are good... But I want to see just that bit more in front of me...

Any suggestions?

Not sure about the non SP20s but the SP20 "fog lights" don't do anything at all for visibility in the distance, you can see the ground a little better about 2m in front of the car but that's about it lol
I'm using Philips X-treme vision high beam bulbs and I can literally hurt peoples eyes with them

Mate I'd go for a driving light setup, foggies just point at the ground.

If you happen to have lots of money to waste I can personally vouch that the SP20 lights give you much better distance than the 1.8 ones do, but by the time you buy the lights, bulbs and wiring you could prob buy that Hella setup Mikey posted with change lol

Go for a third party driving light, some are small enough to fit in the space where the stock foggies go.

Or i've got a set of the BJII fogs coming in soonish.

But yeah, otherwise what phunky said. I'd get a rectangular one and trim the angles cavity where the vents are so the rectangle fogs can be mounted almost flush
