Aloha

Currently on the Vanagons for sale on TheSamba about the 3rd one down a white one in a foreign language. It is a 1990 T3 Bus mostly looks the same but the lower grill is full and holds what appears to be factory fog lights. There also seems to be a seam in the metal above the upper grill which I suppose does something else cool.

Does anyone know what these items are? Is it the classic case of the other countries getting the better stuff? Is that lower grill with lights an option that can be tracked down?

Thank you
John

They are ProjektZwo fog lamps. German aftermarket item, but sold in the US - discontinued for several years now, though.

The lip above the grill is just a "grill spoiler." 10 years ago there were more (though still few) body kit stuff like that available. Not so much now. Gotta troll eBay / euro eBay.

YES THAT IS THE ONE!!! I really like that lower grill it seems those extra lights would be great.

I do not understand the spoiler thing extra seam or metal above the upper grill though.

Does anyone know where to get that lower grill with fog lights?

Aloha
