    Default What lights will work?

    Hey all, I have had no luck at all finding some fog lights for my senator. Does anyone know if lights out of a VQ Stato or VN SS will fit? Do any aftermarket lights fit? Cheers.

    Pic of the bar would help?


    Have you thought about using VP SS ones?

    um no point in trying to put genuine ones on cause 1 they dont look like theyl fit and 2 theres no wiring harness installed on it. theres a nice set of fog lights from kmart u can get, they are mirrored when off, so theyl match that bar nice and are easy to install with the swtch included.. i have them on mine heres a pic.. u can just see the side of them in this pic..

    There is a wiring harness installed as it came standard with fog lights, its tucked away near the radiator. Which genuine lights are you talking about?????

    genuine as in stato and ss.. the vn ones are huge! wouldnt fit in there.. um any aftermarket ones would fit.. if theres a switch i guess u just wire any lights up to the harness. black and white wires.. mine have black white and red, red being the little parkers that are in my fog lights(i dunno y they bothered) which i just spliced into my parker switch.. but mine were 50$ from kmart and there small enuff for those holes

    oh, i never realised you had the loom there.

    Wouldn't that mean it already had spotties on it? the holes look like the ones found on VQs, but i couldn't be sure.


    Don't get aftermrket ones, they just never look right.

    Yeah STEALTHY, it had them there as standard but they were stolen.

    I thought they looked similar to the VQ ones but wasnt sure so I thought I would ask.
