Cracked fog light
« 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.

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:
