New Front Fog Lights Is200....advice Please

[Ali]

Hi

Ive just bought some secondhand fog lights for my is200 AUTO.....the previous ones rusted due to leakage of water inside them......from what i understand, the 1999 auto model was fitted with vented wheel arch plastic that allowed leakage of water into the fogs.

Can anyone advise me on what i should do to stop the sam happening again

thanks

Anyone??

you can try taking out the wheel arch plastic and covering the vents with some fibre glass, thats what i would do.

duck tape would also do the job

If you have any silicone grease or waxoil or vaseline even. Coat the back of the light where the bulb holder meets the body of the light, this should at least slow or halt the water ingress and corrosion. I have smeared the back of mine with thick silicone grease for this reason and so far no problems.

The newer models had a plastic caps on the back, i fitted JDM ones that had this, although this means chopping the original connector off, as its a different bulb, and soldering a few wires :winky:

Knew I had a pic of it somewhere, you can just about see the cap here
