01 - Foglights on – 39 viewsIn preparation for converting my fogs to drl's I decided to give the lamp housing an overhaul
|
|
02 - Foglight with OEM bulb – 39 viewsExisting lamps still working well, but "yellow"
|
|
03 - Gently lever the cover off using a flat bladed screwdriver – 47 viewsuse a cloth to cover the screwdriver blade for added paint protection
|
|
04 - Remove first screw – 46 views
|
|
05 - remove Second screw – 45 views
|
|
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07 - All screws removed and lamp housing withdrawn from bumper – 45 views
|
|
08 - Release lamp housing from connector – 45 viewsThis is quite stiff so use a flat bladed screwdriver to release the small clip
|
|
09 - Lamp Housing removed from car – 48 views
|
|
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)
