Has anyone put fog lamps like these in their air dam of a 240 series car? Got any pics or tips? thinking about adding some but I want them mounted in the air dam not above or below it. Thanks, Ralph

Richard I like how yours are mounted they seem flush to the air dam, can you get me any details on manufacturer? Were they custom fit? Any close up pics? I do NOT want to mount them like the pics posted above, DO NOT LIKE...!

they're not in the airdam exactly, but they're as close as i could get them. the car had a 740 air dam on it, and the lights didn't fit in the openings, or else i would have put them there. i got rid of the car 4 years ago, but here are some pictures that i have saved that are different angles..

i made brackets that bolted between the airdam and the car and they seemed to hold fine.. if i still had it, they would be in the foglight holes in the valence

edit: i think the tranny cooler was behind one of the fog light holes, so i didn't have room to mount the lights
 
Thanks Ken, you wouldn't happen to have any examples of that would you? Probably going to add this mod to the Phase 3 list...! wonder if white lens with a yellow reflector will blend in more...

No but I cut and bent some stainless to make mounts so I didn't have to hack the 1800 ES' bumpers.
 
Yeah the beauty of where Ken and I mounted our fogs on the 240's is that the hole was already there for the airdam...just needed to bore it out a bit.
 
I prefer the OEM Volvo/Bosch clear fogs on OEM brackets just in front of air dam.

And I absolutely LOVE the Hella 500FF Driving Lights. (range of 1800 ft forward, and can see 25+ ft past the ditch on each side)

With the headlights on hi beam, Hella Driving Lights on, plus the OEM Volvo/Bosch Fog Lights on, I can see where the hell I and the DEER are going. The Hellas saved my front end from 2 deer,10 minutes after I installed them. Best 60 bux I ever spent IMO.

Just got mine on as well. I have two though now, one of the ones I got from the junk yard was broken so I had to order a new one.

Stephen, no matter how hard I try, I can't imagine you driving a 2.

And kyle-where'd you get those lights from? A Volvo or another car?

82 jetta diesel. Exact same lights used on the volvos. There was a BMW at the yard that had them too but both were broken.
