WTB 73' horn grilles with cutout for lights

[Dirtrocks]

Hey,

Checking to see if anyone has a pair of 73' horn grilles with the cutout for the driving/fog lights. Returning to stock setup. The car is a 73S and the COA states yellow fog lights...I don't think the S model lower bumper came with fog lights, so I'm assuming its referring to fog lights through the horn grilles.

Appreciate any help, thanks, Greg

You are correct. I had a 73S with thru the grill for lights and due to the splitter, no provision for lower mount fogs.

You may want to post on the Early 911S Registry WTB forum for your grills.

Could you modify standard horn grilles? Curious because I want to run fogs on my backdate.

I'll have lights and grills available very soon as a package. I had the grills only available in the past, but pulled the sale of those individually as I wanted to offer them as a "package", and I also have fewer grills left vs lights. I started making the grills about 5 years ago.

My old thread on grills:

I made both SWB and LWB horn grills for fog lights.


Side note: In 1973 if the car came from the factory with horn grill mount fogs then you got chrome grills. If you went back into the dealership after you bought the car and said "hey, I want horn grill fog/driving lights", they would pull a package out of the parts dept that had all the things you need; grills, lights, switch, wiring, brackets etc. BUT, the grills were the black plastic ones with a "clipped" center bar (the factor offered them clipped, they weren't molded).

In answering dg567, yes, if you grind out "about" two inches of the center bar (a chrome one) you can put lights into your car, you can simply "clip" a black one as they are plastic.

The lights and grills I made will also be available soon from our "host" here.

Cheers,
Eric

PS. On a real side note, there was a provision to mount round fog lights to the 1973 "S" spolier. There was a special bracket that fit at the bottom of the front spolier/bumper and accomodated the lights. Somewhere on Pelican there are pictures of a 1973 RS (real) in a Violet color with these lights mounted (and on the kardex for the car).

Eric, thank you for the detailed input and the resources. So, I've had another friend mention the below bumper fog lights on an "S" bumper. The COA says "Yellow Fog Lights"; hard to tell whether they would have been thru grill or below bumper really. Appreciate the input; I'll put a posting on the S registry too and see what people have for photos and ideas based on other COAs. Much appreciated, really enjoy researching this stuff. I didn't realize the 73 would have gotten the chrome grilles with cutouts...good to know.
