Fog Bulb Change

[si's_lex]

i would just like to say what a pain in the A##e It is to remove fog lights.

then the added ache of trying to get the clip off at the back.

looks like im having a nightmare. im jyst waiting for the wd40 to try annd free the lightbulb.

i had the same problem, took me ages to break it free.. corroded all over.

you just need to be forceful wth it, keep at it mate.

good luck

still not got it out and feels like its glued in

think ive knackered them up arrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhh cant get them out

[Vyker]

stick a flat head screw driver in the gap where all the white corrosion is, and pry it off....

i dont think it will break, it seemed very tough when i got mine out... keep at it...

take it to your garage if it gets too messy.

good luck mate

got onne bulb out, not sure if drilling it out was the right method but worked well lol

i thought taking the screws out were hard. putting them back in is well just another pain. think i may keep them off and paint them dark then bang them back on.

i think this will keep me nice and busy on my days of next week.

what do you guys think. should i paint the balck or blue??

Hello Si

i've just modified my spare set of fogs as they were really crap so i've turned them into air vents for my induction kit i've put the same mesh over them as i've got in my TTE bumper havn't tried them in yet but they look quite good as they took me ages to do and getting the mesh folded round the lamp was a right pain

coat them with silicone when u put them back to stop it happening again

Dont know why the pics dont work mate so just taken them off again? :duh: Think you put the silicone round the bulb fittings and round the bulb base to stop them getting stuck in again??

ahh right ok. so whats the concensus. dark tinted fogs on a strathcarron blue car??

[si's_lex]

does anyone have any pics of darkened fogs on a strathcarron blue is200??

[si's_lex]

now the rain has subsided the second fog lamp is coming off. im suspecting it will be just as corroded as the previous one. brilliant

cant wait to get them both off together then paint them black, the ice blue bulbs look superb
