mwilkinson Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Looks very tidy. I like that. Where did you get both fog light bits from? When I installed mine I use a stock rear fog switch from a UK spec but ended up placing the light switch in the top right warning cluster. Yours looks much nicer.

Yours looks much nicer. i did the same, then decided to source some tell tale templates from scrap dash bits i had, found the correct size and installed, i got my right lower dash panel from keron and wired in my headlight level adjust, so thought id have a go at putting in the telltales for front n rear fogs too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got any picture of the tell tales going in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 just to get positioning correct, then trimm and glue also you have to carefully etch away the black film that blanks the unused telltale so light shines thru to illuminate the new template Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 What did you use to etch the black film? A scalpel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) What did you use to etch the black film? A scalpel? kinda, i had an assortment of different shaped scalpel moddeling knives, i used a screwdriver shaped flat tip one, just carefully etched away, then checked with a light behind to see how much more i needed to do so the template worked, i also used some enamel black modelling paint around the template to ensure no light bleeding thru tried to make it look as oem as possible, and i certianly cant tell they werent like that from the factory when they are illuminated Edited February 10, 2012 by Pulley (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
