Anybody out there fitted front spots/ foglights to a 4/4 sport - no bumper or over riders. I dont want to drill the body. Any ideas how to fasten them. I had thought of a badge bar fixed to the grill or the box behind the number plate. All suggestions (that`s opening it up to you lot) welcome. I might have said Frog lights - but they`re amphibians! Spratt lights?
I originally fitted my spot lights to the badge bar which worked quite well with very little vibration as the I got the BMW lights made of stainless steel which are identical to the chrome Morgan version but don't rust. I got the Stafford Vehicle Components. If you're interested I can email a pic of the brackets to you and I don't mind sending them to you.
I've just changed to using the Librands 3 point brackets that have been fixed to the bodywork. I got them drilled and suitably protected the holes and it allows the lights to sit further back of which I prefer the appearance.
The way I would do it is definately to mount them on an elongated badge bar
I'm sure ages ago while trawling online Morgan part websites, I came accross someone selling a badge bar specifically for this with spot light fitting to go with it

I'll try and remember Phil and get back to you if I find anything

I have got overriders and the additional fog-lights are fitted to the badgebar. I'm not sure the front is now overloaded or not - but without overriders additional lights look fine for me. The front of a 4/4 is a narrow area to play with...

Have you worked out how to wire them in? Will you use the already installed switch on the dash or add a completely new switch and maybe tell tale light? D
Not worked how to wire them in - I`m hopeless at that sort of thing - but have a friend who is an auto electrician. If he can get the right tell-tale switch I think I would like it to go where the aircon button is on the dash - superfluous in a 4/4.
Phil Ledgerwood used to sell this arrangement - a bar fits inside the number plate box and the lamp fits through a drilled hole in the box and through the bar. A very elegant solution.
