Nice work, rewarding when a job comes together.

Thanks Mike!

Just hope it all works out in the end (ref no more leaks!)

[prelude91]

Yippee!!

[Wayne2014]

Well

They are ready!


Connections a bit flimpsy
Either bulb holder (-) not tight enough connection or
(+) some how need s a few rejigs.

Anyway,
Have continuity at the fog sockets now - so will see if they light up tomorrow - fingers crossed!!!

Good news!
Rear lights back in


Spoiler is still off as the fixing threads are worn.
Getting bigger self tapping bolts to get a good fix ...

NEED to test it in rain for leaks now ...











BAD news...
Rear FOGS no longer work

[Wayne2014]

Good news front FOG works!
AND they give out a bright dark AMBER light





I said FOG.
Not fogS

The other one didnt work -
After a bit of re-jigging with (-) and (+) it blew the fuse i think - as the other fog dont work now


WORSE!
Before i had one chipped fog frame cover..


Now
I know how it got chipped...


...dropped the other one this morning!!! Eeeeek'

You still have the missing bit though, so don't panic - that will glue back into place ok. Just get on it before the 2 mating faces get dirty and greasy!
These simple things can be a right PITA and try your patience, but worth it when sorted, so hang in there buddy.

The elements in the rear fog bulbs might have broken while being handled, if they were old bulbs (the filament gets brittle and thin). Can't be anything too serious, anyway, since not much has been disturbed!
