Hi all. Just bought a used 05 s spec Disco 3 and am wondering where to buy a set of front fog lights from. I can't seem to find any on ebay? Also are they easy to to fit and are they expensive? I just think the disco looks a bit bare without them. Sorry if you've all discussed this many times before. The force is strong with this one ......

Welcome skellen2.....Parts required are about £150 (from memory) from Nick at Yeovil LR (aka The Large One on this forum). You basically have to take the front grille,headlights, wheelarch trims and front bumper off, cut the holes out ( cut lines are already there on inner surface), for the lights/bezels, fit the lights /wiring loom, (which plugs into a connector near o/s front headlamp), swap the light switch for one with front fog light sw incorporated,put it all back together, adjust beam,fit bezels, and you are away. Don't forget to put something on the edge of the sharp steel girder that goes across behind the bumper or it will chafe into the wiring at some point, you will see where it is likely to touch.(I used some thick foam tape for this). HTH.

Took me about 5hrs I suppose, but I was plodding, and had never taken bumper off before .....worst bit was cutting out the holes in the bumper, they are not just circular, quite intricate really ( I chain drilled inside lines and then used a stanley knife but it was hard going).Good Luck.
