    1968 Front Fog Light install???

    Hi

    I'm looking to install fog lights in my grill, but I prefer to have them not on a separate switch.

    Firstly, does anyone know the measurements (diameter) of the original style with the chrome, annnnnd the size of the GT500/Eleanor Style? 

    I feel like I'd prefer the GT500 style/size over the factory ones, but I have a plan on how to wire them all to function with a relay Harness (plug and play) and solely working with the Hi/Low Switch!

    The O/E 67-68 GT fog light is a 4 inch sealed beam lamp. The O/D of the chrome O/E bezel is 4 7/8".
     The Eleanor lamps appear to be 7 inch.
    IIRC, the aftermarket GT 500 grilles come with the 7 inchers mounted inboard or outboard.

    Yes the O/E are 7 inch, the they are H/L single sealed beams. 
     I have stock GT fogs in my 68 and  7" tri-bar  housungs with H4 halogen bulbs.

    Is the Max Headroom plate a reference to it being a convertable?

    Yes mostly but also to a lesser extent, homage to the  person who saw all of this coming .... for those of us old enough to remember him.
