'87 4K CSQ front lighting - followup

[Marc Gorelick <marcg@mich.com>]

Greetings again fellow Qlisters!

I just want to thank everyone on the list who responded to my request for 
info about the idea of replacing the reflectors in the front bumper with 
fog lights, and controlling them with the blank switches on the instrument 
cluster. I received a number of responses from people, and their collective 
wisdom has definitely pointed me in the right direction.

For any people who might have been interested in the thread and the results 
(and a few asked me to copy them with any info I received), here is a brief 
summation of the aforementioned wisdom. Some of this apparently was posted 
here a couple of months ago--my apologies if this is not news to you:
:

1. The reflectors are directly in front of the supporting member for the 
bumper. Forget about trying to stick lights there.

2. James Marriott has a good set of plans at 
http://www.lesbois.com/members/marriott/audilite.htm which outline a clever 
way to stick some pretty powerful fogs behind the grill. This doesn't shade 
the lights too much and provides a measure of stealth--you can't see 'em 
unless they're on.

3. The blank switches on the instrument cluster are missing contacts. 
Apparently, these are actually connected on cars sold in Europe, and the 
real thing can be had there. (Can anyone from the East side of the Pond 
verify this? I want some of those babies!)

Anyway thanks again for your help! This list and the Miata list are 
extremely valuable resources of great automotive info and make me 
appreciate my cars and those who drive cars like them more.

P.S. Sorry about the stupid attachments that seem to follow mail from me. I 
am using MS Exchange on NT4 and can't figure out how to make it stop doing 
that. Turning MIME encoding off doesn't seem to have helped! &$#^@!!! I 
think I'm gonna switch back to Pegasus32...
