I wired up the old school Bosch fog lights tonight after mounting them !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! night . Because someone took the original fog lights and brush bar off the truck before it was exported (probably because they sell for a small fortune on eBay), I mounted them in some of the original holes in the bumper and hooked them up to the oem wiring and switch.

These lights would’ve originally been hanging under the bumper of something like an early 80's BMW or 911. It felt wrong to even think about putting them on a modern truck, so they  hung  on a garage wall for more than decade before the Pajero came along. I’m glad I’ve got something to do with them, and I like the way the came out on the truck. After all, defacing the Pajero with a bro-truck light bar might be a mortal sin, or at least it should be.

They’re aimed nice and low, and testing tonight reveals they should be useful. I don’t know how many watts those halogen bulbs are in the fogs, but it might be all of them. They get plenty hot in a hurry.

With the water pump and this project done, I finally put the two front skid plates back on the truck.

These look great. If you had gone with a curved LED light bar I  think I might have cried.

They look Bosch....

Meanwhile, on the assumption that your f og s use a H 3 globe, you could do an LED conversion if you are concerned about the watts.

They look very appropriate.

Nice, I like them.

One of these days I need to convert my headlights to the correct beam pattern for, you know, this country. I’m on the fence about upgrading to the fully covered lens like yours has. Are they glass lenses?

They are glass lenses, and they’re also noticeably not the beam pattern for RHD. I want to say there are also some plastic lens version of these fully covered lights that can be had for less money.
