Not to be obvious, but the "Buy Parts" tab?

Personally, I say bone yard.

I've seen them many times on ebay but doesn't seem to be much there now - except for this one...

You can also get the 5" yellow fog lights at Ardvark International. They are a Cibie reseller. I got the Euro headlights for my car and I think they are great.

Here's what you do if it's so cold your diesel fuel gels. Smear some on some toast and stay inside until it warms up outside.

when I bought our 85 it had one that had taken a rock hit. checked
around the wrecking yards in San Jose and found quite a few. one guy
wanted $35 ea, he said 1/2 of new. another guy, All american Imports
was $10 ea. up graded to the clear ones.
also have 100 watt bulbs and on a seperate switch, WOW, what a difference especially on hi beam.

Don, is there plenty of yellow left to them? Mine are faded to the point where you could barely tell they were originally yellow. I was going to try spraying them but I'd rather just get some used ones in decent shape. Let me know! I'm one of the weirdos who like the U.S. spec fogs

Aren't they standard SAE 5 3/4"?

If they are, I would put E-Code high beams in their place and put yellow fogs below the bumper Where they would work better. And wire the fogs so they could be run without the headlights on for better fog cutting.

I heard someplace that yellow ones were not being made any more due to some 'toxic' ingredient, nobody knows about this?.... maybe it was just a roomer I have a spare set for my "78" and I'm keeping them
