Default Volvo 740 lost fog light surround does anyone have one spare

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone could help, about 6 months ago one side of the fog light surround/bracket has fallen off my 1989 Volvo 740 Turbo Estate.

I have kept my eye out for one on ebay since and have never seen one come up, I know its such a minor thing but I have removed the fog light until I can find one and the car looks strange with just the one fog light.

It would be great to find one, does anyone have one or know where I can get one?

I have attached an imagine and highlighted the bracket in red if there is any confusion to what I mean.

Hope all is well and all the best

Simon

Keep your eyes peeled on ebay for an older set of Ring Microline front fog or driving lamps. These were copies of the Bosch units fitted as front fog lamps to the 740.

Also Ford Probe models used the driving lamp variant of the same Bosch lamp (same housing, different lens) mounted below the bumper as the main beam on them was pathetic.

Alternatively, you could buy a set of the updated Ring Microline fog lamps :

The "ears" have been replaced by a metal lens retaining ring/rectangle but the main mounting points are in the same place and they do the same as the originals.
