View Full Version : can someone post pic of fog lights on 100Q? majordad 11-09-2006, 03:37 AM I am wanting to improve the lighting on my 91 100q. I am undecided whether to put them on top or bottom of the bumper. pics would help if there are any. JRSATX 11-09-2006, 05:20 AM The lighting on my 100 is poor also. Before fog lights, I plan to install relays for the headlights. This did wonders on an old Mustang of mine. Randolph 11-09-2006, 05:29 AM I don't have a pic, but mine are mounted below. I think on top looks like a rally car which looks silly for regular driving. I can try to get a picture taken if you need.

Very OEM looking, and works great. The side markers make better turn signal blinkers as you can see them from both the front and side. Several here have also bought 100 E-code (Euro's) head lights from the linked site (me too, but not pictured). They are reasonably priced, very good quality and looks, and provide great lighting! Any way you choose will be an improvement on the stock DOT lighting.<ul><li><a href="http://www.importvision.com/index.php?display=show_part.php&PartMake=Audi&sele ct_PartType=Headlights">http://www.importvision.com/index.php?display=show_part.php&PartMake=Audi&sele ct_PartType=Headlights</a</li></ul> majordad 11-09-2006, 07:13 AM I need better lighting. this car is mainly for winter use.

You can see a bigger version if you click my account and look at it on my picture poster. Or if anyone wants to fix this go ahead.

Another thought on a non-intercooler car would be to throw driving lights into/behind the grille. I think you would have plenty of room without the intercooler (though I am not certain of this). majordad 11-09-2006, 08:57 AM and did you use the existing allen bolt under the bumper? majordad 11-09-2006, 08:58 AM SteveJ_in_TX 11-09-2006, 12:01 PM <center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/34523/dscn0201.jpg"></center><p>The 't' means thumbnail. Randolph 11-09-2006, 12:50 PM I knew I was doing something wrong but couldn't find any info on it in the reader tips section. Randolph 87 5KCSTQ 93 928GTS treehunter 11-09-2006, 04:47 PM To be honest they (Hellas) were on the car when I bought it so I haven't paid much attention to how they are mounted. Fairly painless install I imagine. qpower 11-09-2006, 06:00 PM jurq 11-10-2006, 03:59 AM <center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/68383/5k_fogs.jpg"></center><p>Or you can mount the fogs using the shanks that hold the bumper cover in place. Just a little trimming of the plastic around the shank holes. Relays definately help. HTH, Jim treehunter 11-10-2006, 08:37 AM The car unintentionally looks like a twin of Steve Ankney's but I doubt he minds considering how few white on black leather 5ktq's are out there :) devil's advocate 11-10-2006, 08:41 AM <center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/51881/highsndl.jpg"></center><p>Oh, yeah and below the bumber too. |
