Car had blanks on it held on by rubber clips. All suggestions appreciated Thanks no, uses the same clips and screws the blanks uses, just unscrew, remove blanks, and then put new brackets in etc edit: some E30s are prewired from the factory, if not, the fogs have thier own loom that runs along the front bumper behind it, and up the left fender, and clips on somewhere, there might be a plug empty there on the wing, or it might have to go to the junction box behind glovebox, i forget now. but they are definately on thier own loom Edited July 27, 2013 by _Ethrty-Andy_ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No screws either. Thinking of just buying some nuts and bolts that fit nicely. Can't wait to get it all set up though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30ftw 410 Report post Posted July 27, 2013 you bet I do. Secretly looking for a tidy silver tech1 *tech2 Yeah the fog lights screw into plastic bungs if you line it up behind the valance the holes should line up to plastic screw bungs and you just need some screws to mount them.

raewyn22 149 Report post Posted July 29, 2013 Thanks every one for the help, ended up getting some clips of HellBM and self tappers to screw in... But what came out were two sided rubber/plastic clips. Got them in now, best thing I have done to it in months :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
