Title: Cracked fog light
Post by: makzimum on 28 March 2008, 09:09
The other day I heard a crack from under my car while on the motorway, couldn't see any damage so I thought no more about it.  Now I've noticed that the fog light glass is completely cracked on one side.  :sad:

Anyone know if the glass alone is replaceable?  I have a suspicious feeling that if I take it to the stealers they'll want to replace the whole light.

best just get one of ebay and fit it your self. the front 'fake' grill just has 1 screw and slots out. you will be able to get a clear view of your whole fog light then :smiley:

Just been looking on ebay actually, £25 doesn't seem too bad for a claimed genuine part.

....I had a cracked foglight in exactly the same circumstances - My VW dealer replaced it under warranty :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: - Surely yours should do the same?

Nice one getting it done under warranty!  Not sure how much it is from stealer if not - haven't made enquiries yet.  Better get down there sharpish before my warranty runs out next month!  Got some other niggles too while I'm there.

£85 + VAT I've just been told.

Ebay it is.  :wink:

I've just replaced the projector type foglight that vw dropped to replace with cheaper ones from my06 onwards.  Think part price was £45 but you get 15% off if the parts man is a reasonable chap :cool:
