    Rear Fog Light Bracket for LWB: Production opportunity

    I had several of these fabricated a few years ago and sold all I had. I have been requested by several to make another run, but I need to get a commitment of at least 20 for the price of $50. These fit perfectly, but the appearance is not exact.

    These are made of 16 gauge stainless steel (0.0625"), not zinc plated. They also are flat on all sides and do not have the raised section at the bend.

    I do not have the rear backing plate, however, I just used a combination flat and lock washer with a nut. If I make another run, I will include the bolts, washers, and nuts. I am not sure about the grommet sizing, but could do a little leg work on that also.

    I will post some photos later to show the installation on my car. Drilled 3 holes and mounted with 2 - allen socket head cap screws. The 3rd hole is for the wire, which is suppose to be already waiting for you behind your left tail light assembly. I was able to successfully wire mine into the fog light so that it comes on with the front fogs. A two position switch would be needed if you would like to have them independently on or single stage if you do not have front fogs.

    Note: I just found out that the LWB and SWB are the same.
