Does facelift front bumper with fogs fit earlier 1996 model?

[Pritchard]

Looking to replace my front bumper without fogs to the facelift front bumper with fogs and Was just wondering if it's a straightforward fit?

 

[Magpie42]

Do you mean swapping the version 2 facelift bumper for the version 1 facelift bumper?

 

[skymera]

Prefacelift and facelift bumpers are a different shape

 

[Pritchard]

Different shape massively of a bit of shaping needed?

 

[skymera]

Different shape for the lights and for the facelift bonnet.

Not sure if the mountings are different.

Someone did fit a facelift bumper to a facelift with some work but it looked cack where the bonnet should have been.

Ah right sounds like I would be opening a can of worms all for the sake of front fogs :/

Why not get a SuperS bumper? They have fogs

 

[Pritchard]

That just bolt on yea?

 

[skymera]

Direct fit

 

[Pritchard]

Magic thanks for that

It's a pre-facelift so will fit a pre-facelift no problems

 

[Pritchard]

It's a poor quality pic but looks to be same colour too. What tools are needed? Don't think me roll cab and top box will fit in the micra lol

I've banged the details into Shiply to see what people will charge... might be worth it if someone else wants some other bits (like the engine, etc.) @MicraPRO @Clodo

 

[Magpie42]

Actually... at costs around £200, it just won't be worth it....booo....

 

[Pritchard]

So eventually got my bumper into work and took fogs out ready for prep but after speaking to an auto - electrician he says the rear window heater switch I took from the donor I carnt use to wire up fogs as it has a relay inside so means the lights would come on slowly..... anyways can i modify this switch some way or will I need the front fog switch instead?

Just a heads up the the super s bumper... it wont fit your gtr because you have a facelift.

Any ideas with my switch issue?

 

[Pritchard]

Apologies if I'm becoming a piano do I need fog switch instead?

 

[MicraPRO]

Any ideas with my switch issue?

I wired my fogs to a 3 pin switch and cut a hole in the blank on the dash...
Switch
Relay
Fused link
Wire
Bits to connect

 

[Magpie42]

You could get an awesome red button with a flip-up cover, like in a fighter jet....

Good ideas guys but would it be possible to adapt the switch I have or will it be just as easy to buy one off freebay?

 

[Pritchard]

Just like the idea of an original k11 switch to replace the blank :/

Thanks @MicraPRO

Aye, Tom here gave me a spare rear fog light switch to use Was just a case of using a multimeter to find out which pins were switched ones, then using it to switch a relay feeding the front driving lamps

That looks pretty cool like, reminds me of elanor from gone in 60 seconds

 

[cgten]

I was thinking of getting another headlight adjustment switch, mounting it next to the existing one and use it to control the front fogs (position 1 for off, 2 for on, 3 for flashing lol)

 

[Magpie42]

...position 4 for strobe?

Having a bit browse on freebay for a fog switch and they around £10 almost had a fast attack

Position 4 flashes the lights alternately and plays J-Pop from a hidden speaker behind the bumper. Position 4 is only to be used whilst drifting - it's the rules.

 

[Pritchard]

Got me new toy ... bumper has been painted just waiting for my new front crossmember before I get bumper on and wired up

 

[Pritchard]

Is there a loom already behind? @Enuo

 

[Enuo]

Behind the dash? No, as standard they're wired to come on with full beam and wired as such. If your car has the plugs in the engine bay they will be 2 pin brown plugs on either chassis leg near the grill iirc

 

[Pritchard]

I have a 1.3 slx so doubt it will have the loom but I do have a loose brown plug and another that is plugged in, my issue is I wanna use them as daytime runners so would be pretty pointless if they only came on with hi-beam
