Mavoma,
M5james is right, make sure you do your due diligence first though. Heaps of info and threads on this much thrashed subject within these pages to research first with.

I'm not sure if you know ekvals , he is also a member from your neck of the woods. Just do a search of his name and see what he's done to his ride, beautiful job. He might also be able to give you a heads up on local suppliers, indy's etc. GL

US foglights are in the bumper. Are they placed somewhere else in Norway?

I personally can't stand when certain cars (Merc's, some older Acura's, etc) put the foglights in the same assembly as the headlights. I realize the foglight beam points downward, but it still looks like highbeams are on w/ all that light coming from one assembly.
