Classic to facelift style light pods

[Uncle B]

I think I've seen these here (or maybe I was just imagining it?) does anyone know where to get them? Or is it a DIY job?

Do I need parking lights/foglights/indicators or just fogs/indicators? I can't even find a picture of one with pods in it...

I'm still waiting on the tappet clips so I've nothing to do!

the easiest way to do it it's just drill a hole in your front cluster lights and put a parking light bulb in it .

the facelift only has a signal light and a fog light in the bumper ( sepparate clusters ).
you will need to rewire a few bits . did you upgrade to facelift ?

[Uncle B]

Hey Seb,

No its a classic bumper but I'm almost sure I've seen a modified one with a different cluster set-up.

The closest I found was this terrible one where the pod has just been covered up a bit.


I'd like to have 3 seperate lights in each cluster instead if you get me?

[Sebastian]

let me see if i got it right ,
you want a facelift setup in your prefacelift bumper?

[Uncle B]

Pretty much!

looks like a decal to me just for show id say

[Uncle B]

Ya thats just a decal alright, but I'm pretty sure I've seen a purpose built pod with proper lights?

Muad had these years ago, fibreglass mouldings that you blend into the classic bumper that allow you to fit facelift. Fogs and indicators

Any chance of pics/links Colm?

Neil and Chuck on here have both had these pods fitted into a classic bumper - looks very well IMO though I'd say it takes a bit of work to get the blend spot on.

[Uncle B]

Cheers Shane, I was going mad looking for it.



I have to say it looks very good alright, he did a perfect job. Looks completely standard.

Now to get onto Jay and hope he has a set gathering dust somewhere

[Myfeckin FTO]

Yip - looks the business - nicer and a lot rarer than a facelift bumper IMO - however it's going to cost more to get this set-up than if you just went with a facelift bumper. Theres quite a bit of work for the bodyshop to get the mould fitted and blended correctly to look like the above.

With any modification on an fto I always use the question "would mitsubishi do something like that if tgey were revising the styling" as a rule of thumb. Those vinyl covers are disgraceful, as is pretty much everything on that car. Maybe I'm conservative!

Those pods are the job though, they modernize the front end without the drawback the standard facelift bumper has (imo) that the nose is too long and the angle of the bottom of the bumper makes the car look too high. Pods give the best of both worlds.

only nice thing about that blue and silver mess is the single wiper conversion the rest just looks like it crashed into a bad modification shop and thats how it came out the other side an fto only needs minor subtle touches imo as i think mitsi got it almost spot on with the styling although those pods look sweet as

I never fully understood those conversions.. why is it a god idea to have the resting position of the wiper in the middle of your view?
Yes on a racetrack it's helpful if it pisses down - but on a roadcar? Also it must present an issue with the nct.. I think..

would't be sure about the nct issue but i think it looks good nice street race look probably not that practical though
