Fog light questions

[thedogsbollox]

My fog light has gone to the watery rusty grave and i need to do something about it. I have seen the posts on putting a foglamp in the original cluster and i will have a go at that, but
where do i get a bulb holder from?
My bongo was fitted with a dangly foglight and a very poor looking switch was fashioned into the dash switches.
Where can i get a proper foglight switch the same as the rest?
Can i wire both front and rear fogs into the same switch or is that a NONO?
I want to fit foglights into the front spoiler where there is obviously space for them
What should i be asking my local motor factors place for or do i need special sized ones to fit?
I then want to change the original yellow front fogs(on the bullbar) to spots
What would that entail?

where do i get a bulb holder from? scrapyard (or send me your addy, I think I've got one lurking)

What should i be asking my local motor factors place for or do i need special sized ones to fit?rocking horse poo if you want originals & have got a spare £120 or so

I then want to change the original yellow front fogs(on the bullbar) to spots
What would that entail? new set of driving lamps, beam pattern is different, you may be able to get replacement lenses depending on make

I knew you would have, i am just too polite to ask.
As for the spots, I could use the wiring that goes to the front fogs as they are now to feed the new spots in the front spoiler.
The new spotlights would then need to be wired to the existing beams via a relay right?
Can i get off the shelf foglights to fit the holes?

Can I get off the shelf foglights to fit the holes?

Yes, just measure your hole, or cut out a template & see what'll fit

If you have got one then why not chuck it in too. Don't worry i will see you don't need your own drink next time we meet up.
