Anyone know the size of the fog lamp opening - seen these on the bay of flea and have combined fog and day running lamps, looks like a good solution to never being seen on the road.

Not sure if the ones you linked are interchangeable. EPC part number for the fog lamp is 9197583

The actual size of the Hole through the bumper is 57mm, although this opens up considerably when you measure the aperture at the flush face of the bumper.

They aren't interchangeable but an upgrade with both fog and day running lamps in one lamp.

They look really good. I did my N/a recently converting the old fukd up fogs to 70mm LED's, but I mounted them in the original lamp housings, which was a faff, but worked out ok. I think as the hole in the bumper open out considerably you could mount these, they would just be sat a little bit further forward than the originals. I think I'll get a set for the Turbo and figure out a mounting method, I'm sure it won't me too tricky.

Originally I used 70mm lamps which was housed on the original fog bracket. This time round I have installed 60mm lamps which actually fit inside the hole. The lamps are both DRL and fogs.
