Looking for P1 fog lamps and pods

Yup that is true 
I've a set of P1 90mm spots that were hardly used (& not by me) before being replaced with HIDs by the original owner. I came by them & since then they have rested in my garage as when I did it, I had the HIDs too
Had thought about mounting them on my Vectra but not had the time
However, I have not got a spare set of mounting brackets & have not got a spare set of surrounds - sold them
Those will be the hard things to source from anywhere other than a scooby dealer (unless someone knows different?) & even then, its P1 VIN/Chasis time & proof of P1 ownership... It may be that you will find the surrounds a bit easier as they used to come as part of a kit all pre-sprayed with the lip spoiler & people/garages may have them knocking about.
Anyhow, £85 if you want the spots? DA has first refusal as I had an email from him

Righty-ho then, I've got the part numbers from Hella for the main beam and gas discharge bean lamps, looks like they've got everything needed to screw them down with. Just getting prices...

Doh! Not buying mine & you still want advice?
I dunno

They're quite easy to install it just depends what you currently have. Have you got fogs or spots? If you have spots, the wiring is easy obviously. If fogs, then I would get SS to sell you a spot-light wiring kit - 2 options 1) On all time with h/lights 2) using fog light switch to over-ride on/off with headlights - your choice, but I'd probably (if I were you) go for option 1) as although spots are good, they are not as eyeball seering as those of the SS Cibies
When you get round to actually fitting them, then yes, that too is easy BUT ( & a small to medium one) is that the fog-light mounting points do not quite match up! Two do, but one of the adjusters on the spots appears to have no-where to go. Its then a case of "drill a wee hole" to allow the adjuster to get through. I gave it a good look on the kit I had, but there didn't seem a way of working it so as to get away without drilling a hole. Anyway, as its not seen, there is not much of a problem. Only advise on this is that there is a metal plate behind, so make sure you use a metal drill & hold onto the plate so that the holes stay in alignment.
That about covers it
P1 Lip - well that's your choice but not needed as part of the spot lights...
(Not truly a like for like as quality of photos but gives an idea)

Thanx Puff
[/**** licking for not buying your lenses/]
Your wagon looks superb with the P1 lip also.
[/**** licking ends/]
Mine is Sonic Blue so don't have to colour-code the pods which is a small bonus.
I've got spots on mine at present so hoping for a relatively easy job.
