The Dreaded melted fog light

[Cammer-6]

I have a 97 thats not a TA and put Hella driving lights in the holes and they work great
looks pretty good too.

here it is in the middle of 2 more of my 4th gens,both of which have since been sold

Here are my foglights


note how the warped/melted place where the bulb should go

I marked off where I wanted to cut it


Then I cut it with a razor saw for plastic

Here is the foglight that I bought at Pepboys for 19 bucks for the pair.
I am going to cannibalize the rear portion of the housing


I mark where I want to cut it with a file, also note how the place where the bulb goes is similar in size and shape

then I cut the sides off so it will mate up with the stock foglight cleanly

After I get the replacement piece all filed and clean, I fit check it. its pretty damn close to perfect





So out comes the JB weld (max temp rating of 450 should be good enough)


And one is done.
