im trying to figure out if there are any fog lights that look good on an s4 front bumper ... looking for ideas. i dont want anything that looks cheapo.
or.... should i just go s5 conversion and call it a day...?

 

PIAA 1500's fit perfectly in the S4 grill. Very stock looking. Or you can get some PIAA 510's or the like and mount in the brake duct vent as the S5 does. Done both in my S4 and very happy both approach's.

 

thats what i did s5 it looks way better i think

 

any pics of this?
I'm also wondering n curious as to how it looks

 

I put driving lights where I used to have Fogs (Hella's, same dimensions as PIAA 1500's retangular) to suppliment my high beams, and put fog 510's type in the brake duck following the S5's locational lead.

Take your choice, either work within the body lines of a S4 Bumper.

A third choice, Mazda offered a Fog Light kit specifically for S4's as pictured on my old S4 TII (The Red Rocket, still miss her). Bosch housings can be had off the internet. But the brackets you'll need to get off a parts car. I have a set of brackets somewhere in my box o madness.

 

u can add me i wold like to see also
i have some gay fog lights right now and not that bright

hmmm... im gonna look into this for my s4...

 

What kind of Christian are you?! 666 That's the number of the beast!

 

you know what i for got what kinde thay are but i did bie them at pepboys if u live in san diego it the one off of El Cajon bulivard in city hights 92104

 

those look sweet. the ones on the t2 would be the ones mazda offered? those look nice and u still get to have the the duct for the front brakes

 

here's my 87 TII a month before i sold it, bought the yellow fogs from a jdm inporter on ebay, the fogs were on an 86 corolla front clip, dont know what brand they were but they looked and worked amazing

 

Those are the same Bosch Fogs that I had on my TII. Looks like the same mounting set up as well. Hard to argue what some engineer designed into the S4 originally.

 

hi hozzman, long time no hear, agreed that the set up is similar however the fogs are not bosch units since they are smaller and i mounted them further in by cutting off part of the bumper to give it a flush look so they wouldn't stick out too much, but like you said its by far the best fog light set up on the S4 rx7's since it remains era correct and looks right at home without sacrificing the brake cooling ducts which i find extremely important

kents always got the info haha those are sweet fogs
This is how mine was... got these at autozone i believe. They worked good for he most part but mounting them on the lower portion of the bumper was not the best spot because its very flimsy and would shake more than i would have liked

 

My mistake then, but they sure could be the same set up.

The Bosch fogs I used in restoring the Red Rocket were smaller than the ones Mazda originally used, look the same size as yours. If the're not the same Bosch's I used, they sure look like they could be.

Also, the factory mounting brackets give a recessed mount to this particular Bosch unit similar to yours. See picture.

Point is, apparently the Mazda engineer that designed the stock set up would probably give you in the way you did your install.

As to retaining brake duct functionality, thats why I used the size fogs that I did. Certainly allows as much if not more air flow than what the S5 ducts allow with the stock fogs.

Side note, formum member BJBubble (Blake) is now the proud owner of The Red Rocket. So perhaps he can provide more pictures and details of this fog light set up

 

Damn. While I had the hole front end apart, I meant to take pics of them mounted for another thread about S4 fogs but totally forgot. Here's some pictures of the fogs themselves with brackets as they currently aren't on the car.





And man was the car lookin good in those photos...........seems like I've done more bad to it then good since I've owned it

 

that looks nice

 

Seems like yesterday. Interior is before I dyed it back to original non-faded shade of Maroon.
