	I'm looking at fitting some spots/fogs to my mk1 Astra much like the ones in this link... i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/mactheweld/DSCF0178.jpg Has anyone done such a job? I'm just after any reccommendations, pitfalls or potential problems I might encounter... Or should I just not do it?! ;D Tom

	Just do it! If you wire them to come on with main beam, make sure you use a relay. If they come on with main beam they can only be a certain wattage (60 each??) or they should be 'for off road use only'. Beware of plastic covers as thay tend to get a bit melty if you forget to take them off Way back when my mates and I thrshed around in Minis one lad had a stern talking to by a copper as he had 4 massive spots wired in with main beam, he had to put a switch in so he could turn them off. Make sure you mount them fairly solidly. For instance, I just bolted mine to the front bumper of my Mini, and they bounced around and vibrated something chronic. ;D Oh to be 17 again
