I like the look of basic fog lights on the speedster. Nothing spectacular or "name brand", something simple, easy, and light on the wallet.

Anyone got any ideas on the best "cheapest" place to pick up a set including brackets?

Hell, even a complete kit with wiring and switch would be ideal.

I guess you're aware that fog lights and driving lights are two different animals: fog lights have a wide pattern without much distance penetration, while driving lights are the opposite with long, narrow beams.  Many folks with driving lights have them swithed to their high beams.  Some fog lights have an amber lens, but all the driving lights I've seen are clear lenses.  There are LOTS of web sites selling both at all price ranges.  Good luck!

Try Susquehanna auto parts or auto lights. Also Sierra Madre Collection. You might also look on the Samba, there is a guy selling repop Marchals. Vintage sells a version of them as well.

 

I have learned that there are various sizes, both lense circumference and depth of the lights themselves, so look at a lot of pictures. For some, the mounting brackets are almost as expensive as the lights themselves depending on how you intend to mount them.Also look on this site at Troy Sloan's and others photos of cars they have owned or built for an idea as to the variety.

 

Good luck.

Ron, I see in the photos of the Hella's there is a little round thing on the back with a hole about the size of the mounting bolt.  Do you know if these can be attached from the rear, and have the bottom brackets removed?  I have some fog lights that were built right into my bumper that I'd prefer to remove.  They look out of place, and don't work well either.  It I could mount those from behind they'd be just about right to cover the cutout area in the bumper trim.

Ron,
 
Did you mount the Hella lamps onto your bumper, or the body ?
 
Thanks,
 
Terry

2.  Marshal fog lights-my favorite, and I may end up replacing my Hella's with these.

More money than the Hellas, but very nice.
