I noticed you have some square lights for sale? Have you given up already? Honestly it's real easy to do. :ok

fog lights? Just taken my squares off( I hate em,well not keen on em anyway) The outer light has the side light in and the dipped/high beam main light the inner comes on with the high beam only,which you might not have the wiring for, But is an easy fix,as its just a link from the high beam on the outer light.
