The 2005 STR does not have front fog lights. They were removed so two engine OIL coolers could be installed. They are NOT for the supercharger intercooler!!!!!

tbird6 - thanks for pointing that out!

Do they cool engine oil or gearbox oil (or both)?


I understand the diesel S-Type has an extra (gearbox) oil cooler (sadly prone to failure and then trashing the box). I've yet to find out why (or where it's located).

Engine oil. Thats part of the reason the STR takes like 6.8 quarts to do an oil change.

Okay lads I've looked into this in great detail, called around to all the vendors I can find & the word is NO! unless you really think blocking off some or all of the air flow to your two outer coolers is a good idea or just making something work, it's never going to look OEM & for me the style of this motorcar is where the beauty lies. Oh & it's stupid fast!!!!!!!!!!
