3G: New AMBER Fog Lights recommendations?

Post by **Wayne2014** » Fri Jan 02, 2015 1:54 pm

Hi

My 3G fogs dont work.
Both fogs blown (i cant remove screws to access bulbs - so a continuity test shows the bulbs are likely blown):

So after some cheap aftermarket
But AMBER fogs
That will fit perfectly into the fog holes

All suggestions welcome!

I wouldn't give up so easily removing the screws.

Hella.

I also found another alternative when i had my 3rd. I'll have to have another hunt on ebay for you.

Trust me buddy
After a week of :
WD40
De-rust
Anti / clockwise turns
Hammer whack
(Short of drill out and heating it)

Plus bought £80 of tool to remove fog
£20 for a multi meter to test the fog and if power to the fog

I think i deserve to give up gracefully ...

Was yours anywhere near as bad as one of mine was?...

I believe I do however have a decent driver's side fog if you're in need?...

And I salvaged all of this from the passenger side if you need it?...

Cheers Nafe

I think my looks quite in good nick (see OP pics).
Some rust on bolts/screws/bracket and frame - but all surface.

Ah - do it has an amber cover???
I thought i can see yellow inside my fogs.

I would need both fogs - so thanks for offer.

Did u managed to find your alternative on eBay?

I measured the dimensions as 170mm (w) x 85mm (h)
And nothing on eBay fits that size

Not for amber/yellow anyway...

If you're writing these fogs off and buying replacements anyway, why not have a bash at drilling the screws out first?

Did think about it.
But my DIY skills not that good - thought it might come useful to someone in need one day - than me trying to damage them.

Not sure there was an amber outer lense. Check out the last of my pics, that yellow dome creates the colour.

You could always wrap them in yellow/amber vinyl.

I didn't find anything as I didn't have the dimensions to hand. I'll have another look now. I do remember the ones I found were a bit narrower, and the Hella options are always expensive.
