Hi Mark,
Can you source this style of lamp in the correct size for a 124 Coupe?

Re: more front light options
I've had those lights on my car for a while wired to the park lights. They have turned into a signature thing for my car, so the one I'm building will have something similar. However, they are NOT bright enough to function as your only front turn signals, especially with the headlights on. I'd advise anyone looking for turn signal options to use at minimum an 1157 style bulb and avoid LED's due to their terrible performance at an angle and in direct sunlight. This is a safety issue.
That said, these lights are fantastic upgrades, the ones I have, have a little "vent" thing at the top that's supposed to seal the headlight, but allow moisture to escape if any makes it in as an anti-fog measure. To say the least, this works extremely well and I've literally never seen the inside of the housing fog up even after a couple weeks of sitting, or only driving with the park lights on for extended periods of time. I purchased them elsewhere though, so no guarantee that they are the same. However they look identical and have the same number of LED's.

Re: more front light options
I would like to add a set of fog lights to the front of my 1985 Spider but I don't see a good place to mount them.
Does anyone know where to0 get a light bar and how it should be attached?

Re: more front light options
On the Spider... I've just removed by 4.5" spot lights (which are now winging their way to the UK), and replaced with a 17" LED 108W bar attached to the cross member that's in front of the radiator. Works really very well, and is (fairly) discrete as it's behind the lower grill.
The road close to the car gets flood light by the center section well, and the outer 1/6 on each side has more of a spot lamp effect.

Re: more front light options
TOPLESSEXPAT,
I HAVE AN AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER IN FRONT OF MY RADIATOR SO THAT THE CROSS MEMBER IS NOT ACCESSIBLE.
I HAVE SEEN CHROME LIGHT MOUNTING BARS ON THE FRONT OF FIAT 2000'S IN PICTURES, JUST CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE
I SAW THEM. IF ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE HAS ANY INFORMATION IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Not sure where you have your air conditioning unit mounted. The 17" bar is hanging in the lower grill - not the upper....
