Disco1 foglights

mrnice · Apr 24, 2009

Hi all, long time no see, my discos rectangular front foglights located in the bumper are half filled with rusty water, ive looked on fleabay and it would cost me £150 to replace em!!! anyone know of a cheaper set? cheers

Take em out. Empty the water out. Pressure wash them inside and then re-assess the situation. Chances are that theycwill look a lot better than you imagine.

throw em out cut off the valance and trim down the end caps , looks much better and gives you better clearance ....

What he said ---I bumper mounted (2) 55 watt off-roads and wired to my
disconnected foglamp switch - love it!

Fog lights?

What for?

For Posers, that's what.
They are no good in fog, and illegal if there isn't fog, so WHY?

Black gaffer tape covers them up nicely.

just tryin to restore the vehicle to its original condition, it came with fogs (which i have actually blanked for now) would be nice to get it all looking as it did when it rolled out the factory - no reason, just for fun!

Just pretend it was a sensible model with no fog lights from new!

That would save you a heap of fuss and some cash.

My Disco 2 has a pair in the front bumper/valance. What a waste of effort!
They do NOTHING useful day or night, fog or clear. But I suppose there's a pair of spare H7 bulbs tucked inside if I could get at them.

mine were totally rusted out.. haven't got round to sorting them yet bu cutting down the bumper and fitting a pair on top of the number plates is my plan..

Nope, but if u shop around for AMR4136 fog lamp LH and AMR4137 fog lamp RH you will see they don't come cheap @ £70+ each as u already know.

mjltigger · Apr 29, 2009

I found them on fleabay with rubbish pics and second hand for £50 when I looked.. decided they weren't worth it and I'd wait to put on some decent driving lamps instead..

speaking of front fog lamps i just changed my bull bar back to original front end and the front fogs plugged straight in to the wiring at the headlamps and didnt work. Should they come on with the rear fogs or should there be a seperate switch under the clock? and will the wirign for that switch be
there ?

discool · Feb 18, 2010

That's right a seperate switch under the clock and the wiring is there as front fogs was an option as well as standard fitment on some models.

nope in a 200TDi, Discovery, the foglamp switch is next to the speedo in the switch cluster. there int nowt under the clock and you wouldn't be able to reach it from the drivers seat anyway.

palace · Feb 18, 2010

Mine is an R plate 300 TDI so the wiring should be there ?

I'm off to look later

No you said in D1 foglight switch was below clock. but that's not true. in a 300TDi Discovery 1 it is. But in a 200TDi Discovery 1, it's in a different place.

No, I just confirmed palace's post, please look again

righ i took the clock out and the switches below and the drinks holder and ashtray there is nothing behind there that will fit or even any wiring. there is under the steering column flap a red connector with six wires going in to it that goes to nowhere could i need a connestor to this then to the fogs ?
