Cibie Foglight For M35 Aero Bar

[bigkevracer]

Due to some little dirtbag waste of space throwing something at my car tonight, I'm now in need of one new Cibie fog light for an M35 aero front bar.

Would anyone have a spare? I'm betting its going to be just under insurance threshold...

Thanks,

Ryan

Damn Ryan, that sucks!

These are very difficult to source mate; Ive been trying for quite a while to find some. They only appear in Nissans listings as part of a complete bumper assembly ($2500) No individual part number. And becasuse they are a "dealer option" they are difficult to even find in FAST.

I have a link that I'll dig up for you tomorrow; maybe you'll have some luck.

Cheers, Dale.

That'd be great Dale, thanks!

Complete bumper assembly seems a bit excessive, but I am insured, and I'm that anal that I'd probably do that if I had to.

its a shame you didnt catch the guy

he may have suffered a 'fall' during the chase.

anyway, they DO appear on IM from time to time, i hope you find something

[bigkevracer]

Thanks Iain.

Was thinking of trying to find some spot lights the same size. I don't really need fog lights in Adelaide, I'd get more use out of spotties.

Will keep an eye on IM too. Have Streeter getting me some stuff at the moment.

there are HID assemblies in a kit to replace some factory sizes. not exactly cheap, but probably cheaper than trying to replace those ones.

[bigkevracer]

Ah ok. Is there a specific one you'd suggest, or you've seen? Otherwise I'll just go through the Narva and Hella catalogues. Pair of HID driving lights would be heaps better for me than a pair of fog lights.

something like this might work for you

youll need something about 4" size to fit in.

there are a few decent and not-expensive kits around. if i get a spare $200 i might get a set for my car and flog off my factory lights

[bigkevracer]

Looks good. Might get a price on these: http://narva.com.au/products/browse/compaccompac-hid

Dad gets trade, and they'll be easier to return if they're no good.

Seems like a better option than hunting down an original fog light, and I'd say it won't be _too_ expensive.

do yourself a favour and get some of these.

http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=249

complete with quality HID kit for 170USD, plus, you can also specify your current globe type and get it will come with Plug'n'play connections.

[zei20l]

wow they look awesome smokey!!

would be good to convert a whole load of cars

[bigkevracer]

I think they're too small though?

Went out and measured mine, they're 110mm across, and those Blazers are 65mm. Looks like they'd be easy to fit though!

What about these from the same site? http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=125 Seem to be the perfect size?

I'm going to get a price on these, since I know I can get them locally: http://narva.com.au/products/detail/compac-100-hid-driving-lamp-kitbr-12-volt-35w-100mm-wide/noheaders/1/?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=500&width=720&modal=true&parent=driving-fog-lamps-popup-layout

Hey Ryan I'm in the same boat mate my right spottie got smashed on my m35 aero driving past a dude mowing his lawn! Threw out a rock, What are the odds? Got a quote from just jap for $ 300 new and a quote from my local Nissan dealer $ 585! Let me know if you find something cheaper

[bigkevracer]

$300 new doesn't sound that bad really.

I priced up a few different sets of spotties, all were around the $100-200 mark. I was thinking of going HID, but they're around the $1k mark!

[ryanismo]

1k is pretty steep what are the lights you're looking at for 100-200? I just want to fill the damn hole!

[bigkevracer]

There are some good ones in the links above.

I've just taken mine out so I'm going to start measuring up and see what fits. I was looking at these: http://narva.com.au/products/detail/compac-100-hid-driving-lamp-kitbr-12-volt-35w-100mm-wide/noheaders/1/?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=500&width=720&modal=true&parent=driving-fog-lamps-popup-layout

I found out those, the HID versions, are $1k, but you can get the non HID version for around $100, and a HID conversion kit for $90. As long as they fit thats what I'll do, just need to measure up.
