I Have got the tailgate with rear fog light. I hate it. Someone cut through the metal... it’s painful... I have got another tailgate without that ugly hole.
I am more keen to add foglights on the bumper or under the rear bumper.
I like old Volvo naked 
I ll give a call next days, thanks mate. |
That used to be my car! I sold it last November- the photo was taken of it when it was mine.
You are correct that the headlight wiper system was different to the later cars- one central motor and two cables that went to each wiper. I couldn’t get the motor to work, it was the only thing that didn’t work on the car when I sold it.
I believe the car was an export model, so it’s possible that U.K. cars that age didn’t have the wipers- a friend of mine has a UK 1975 245 that doesn’t have the headlight wipers.
I’ll be amazed if you can find the mechanism for sale anywhere, if you really want headlight wipers it’d be easier to make suitable brackets so a later set of separate motors can be fitted.
Cheers
