Fog lights they are a pain in the arse  :grin:
I had one imaculate brand new lense with no projector (Drivers)
Another good lense no projector  (Drivers)
Two broken lenses good projectors (Pass&Drivers)
Various projectors some good some bad!
I think I had four fogs with something wrong with them so today set them out to make one good drivers side Fog!
The trick is to easy any projector out of the small tabs without breaking them!
I use two flat head screw drivers to angle them out whilst screw out the adjuster otherwise the tension on them will never budge!






You can see I'm missing an adjuster which are not easy to remove so I butcherd one with a mini cutter, once they have been inserted they will not come out unless you cut the surround shroud. I didnt mind butchering the lense housing as they were smashed lenses and of no use! 




The final result one perfect fog!


Just won the nearside Passengers side so will wait untill that arrives to assess the damage on it for overhalling!

Have to agree Fog lights are a real PITA to get a decent set with all the clips unbroken... I must have 20 in the garage and I bet I would be lucky to get 2 full sets from them...
