17 - All back together and working – 46 views
|
|
15 - Remove the rubber sealing ring from the housing – 50 viewsYou will need to remove the "paint" from the inside of the sealing ring before re-assembly
|
|
16 - All cleaned up and ready for refit – 49 viewsI used a wire brush to remove most of the corrosion and then lightly greased the whole fitting.
Re-assembly is a reverse of dis-assembly
|
|
10 - Testing the intended DRL LED lamps – 63 viewsThese weren't a tight fit in the connector like the OEM bulb, so may need to "bend" the blades a bit
|
|
11 - Undo the retaining torx bolt to allow the two halves of the housing to come apart – 54 views
|
|
12 - Lever back the plastic tabs carefully and ease the lamp housing from the glass housing – 44 viewsas you can see the lamp housing is in a bit of a state. The original "paint" is all but gone, and the, I guess, alloy housing has badly corroded. Take care with the plastic tabs holding the housing lugs in place, the glass housing plastic is quite brittle and the tabs can easily snap off (he says with experience)
|
|
13 - Plenty of "crud" collected in the glass housing – 41 viewsThe glass was pitted on both sides and didn't respond to vigorous cleaning
|
|
14 - Silvering badly deteriorated – 51 viewsNo alternative but to put these back in. May be tempted to have a play with some kitchen foil next time around
|
|
01 - Foglights on – 39 viewsIn preparation for converting my fogs to drl's I decided to give the lamp housing an overhaul
|
|
06 - Remove third screw – 43 viewsThis one is set further back so you might need a torch to see exactly where it is
|
|
07 - All screws removed and lamp housing withdrawn from bumper – 45 views
|
|
09 - Lamp Housing removed from car – 48 views
