  • Fog lite question

    When I bought my 89 Festy, the original owner put some chrome rectangular fog lites on the bumper between the headlights, but now they're really rusted and don't even work. I gotta admit, they look pretty cool. I was wondering if I should replace the rectangular ones, I believe they are 5X4 or something close to that or go with round fog lites? What do you think looks better, round or rectangular?

      I agree with GenevaDirt. Rectangular, for sure. They look best with the front end.

        I have to say ROUND. imo the front end is too squared off as it is, so I have round ones under the bumper to make it look a bit more modern.. Also I think they look good with the clear turns.

        If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.

          They do look good on there.

                        ^^^ mine are rectangular like that too, they were on there when I got the car, there's a switch for them on the dash but I still haven't gotten around to checking the wiring and fixing them so they work. I like the squared off ones better too.
                        No festiva for me ATM...
