Hi all
Just got my bongo 2 weeks ago 1999/T new shape full side conversion.Does any body know where I can get a set of front fog lights for it.The wires with plugs are there behind the bumper and I am told that the wiring for the switch will be in the dash aswell.

Try Bell Hill Garage, they break Bongos and have parts on the shelf

Thanks for the replies lads (hope your both boys and not girls) I don't know if the ones on ebay fit the new shape.Bell hill have none at the moment and new from Mazda he says they are 200 quid!.I think they will have to wait till I saves up a bit.

Try also bongobits, plus other bongo breakers advertising on this website.
I guess parts for the 'new shape' 99 onwards are a bit rarer for the moment.

On the other hand my 98 model has eye shaped spot lights, might be worth checking with 321away at wokingham as they supplied it?

A little bird has told me that they can supply genuine Mazda fog lamp kits, brand new, for all Bongo models. But he's asking questions about "what the market will stand".

So bearing in mind that you can get Ring foglamps that will fit the front-bumper recesses for under ?40 a set, and bearing in mind that these retail for around ?215 from Mazda, how much would people be willing to pay for a fullset of genuine Mazda lamps including all switches & clamps?

As you say the Ring ones are very cheap.
I wouldn't need the kit - so ?50 - ?60 ish for the lamps?
Sounds worth following up, do you know if this includes the special mounting brackets?

I would like some foglamps for my new shape. I would not pay 215 GBP (cant get the pound sign to work on this forum). I might pay 60 GBP, if it included the brackets.

I am confused - are you referring to the Ring Roadrunners which apparently fit the front recesses ? ( ?14 the pair ) or another Ring product that costs ?40?

Post by **Ian** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 8:38 pm

I'm referring to Ring lamps. I saw them at ?40 including brackets and switches (can't remember where though).

?60 - pair of lamps incl brackets - but they'd better be quick or i am off to get the ?14 ones from Ring!!

Why do you actually want them is it particularly foggy where you live and your headlamps are crap, or is it the pose value. If it is the pose value folks I know there are small chandaliers to be had which can be hung inside and bling it up even more. Remember use of fog lamps is illegal unless it is during fog or reduced visibility. I never found them much use anyway unless I wanted to dazzle oncoming traffic and the number of fixed penalty tickets I issued for improper use,could have covered my walls. Each to their own I suppose you love em or hate em, I think of them like bull bars an unneccessary evil and we get more than our fair share of fog in Wales. Happy motoring. ( I know I'll get some stick for this now).

You have a point Edward - - So who is for the driving lamps version?

trevd01 · Post by **trevd01** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 9:58 pm

Trust me, foglights are not for pose value here in the Pennines.

Over Saddleworth Moor on a winter morning 1500 feet above sea level, with cloud base at about 500 feet, your headlamps are useless. Low mounted foglamps and youve got a chance.

Either fog or driving lamps look better in my opinion, than the dodgy looking blanking plates in the bumper.
