Wonder if they were an option ... but I see many around with them ... and they seem to be in the exact same spot.

Either Hella or Narva make them ... but as far as I know Ford usually use Hella for fog/driving lights anyway.

Might be an idea to look up Hella via Google and checking out their range.
I bought some Hella slimline Fogs for the ute recently ... I need to get them installed though ... I have been too lazy.

I believe these don't exist for specifically the AU (genuine or aftermarket) other than T-series I'm afraid. Is possible to fit something close but there's nothing that is made for the AU front bar.

Oh dear... fog lights... :

In the dark days, when I was a confused young man, I fitted spotties to my VP commo. Just screwed em onto the lip of the front bar. Scrape. Scratch. BANG.

Moral of the story - If you must have spotties, do it properly. I pity the foo that doesnt.... :MrT_anim:

you can buy those small spotties/foglights from k-mart for around $30 for the set , includes relay , switch and wiring , full kit .. they make them in small round , small oval , and small rounded rectangle shapes that will fit in the small holes in the standard AU series XR front spoilers, you can buy the kits with either the blueish light or white light , fully wiring diagrams included , easy to do , lots of setups included on the diagrams. they are a pretty new product , i just recentllyl noticed them about 2 weeks ago in k-mart , look like pretty good quiality too .

Yes indeed, have had a set for 12 mths now and just have not had the time to fit as it involves removing the nose cone etc, the ones you are refering to are "Auto Technica" and are real value for money. The only thing i suggest to do is make clear pvc covers for them to avoid damage, these can be easily removed for cleaning.

i dunno if you mean your refering to the nose cone as the whole front end off the car to install them , but u can easilly mount them with access by removing the black plastic protective strip under the front spoiler ;) .
