GP fog light

Has anyone installed fog lights in the bumper of their GP?

Thanks,

Cody

Not here. I plan on taking out those dummy inserts and installing brake ducts.

That had crossed my mind as well! I may just go with some driving lights. I have some friends that have large SUV's used for 4-wheeling and they use lightbars from Rigid Industries. Rigid also makes a small set of lights called the Dually D2's that put out 2600 lumen!

Here is a link to them http://www.rigidindustries.com/D2-Di...wo-p/50251.htm

Installed in GP0203 since late 2006. All the wiring is present. You have to replace the switch panel, and enable the function in the electronics.

Please do! I have been speaking with a rep from Rigid via email about installation avenues for the D2's on my mini.

Rear Fog Lamp

I got the White Rear Fog Lamp and use it as a 3rd reverse light.

Looks good! I am mainly talking about the front bumper for fog lights...

Is the wiring all readily there if I wanted to retrofit the rear fog light? Seems like it would be pretty cool to have if driving through inclement weather. It also reminds me of the fog lights on F1 cars (how its center of the rear).

Oh Yes
I occasionally pull out the Northern California Thomas Guide and find some winding desolate mountain roads and pick up a quad shot espresso at SBux and go for a midnite run. And occasionally find myself in a desolate one lane roads that has collapsed, too potholed, closed, or becomes gravel/dirt and I even had lights and guns pointed at me by the Game Warden and Sheriffs on a poacher sting. U-turns were always a biatch cause I could never really see if I was going right off a cliff in reverse. Just figured I needed more reverse light.

Yes for fog.
I bought mine with a kit from MINSpeed, (now closed) and they provided the extra wire and instructions on how to splice for reverse light and for brake light conversion.
