my passenger side fog housing is broken, probably knocked loose by a pebble or something. now at speed it wobbles back and forth and at night i can see my fog's beam moving back and forth.

i looked under the bumper and i can see that the top right piece of the housing has broken off with the screw still in it, along with the bottom center screw. i will put up pics if needed, but i just need to ask.

brand new fog housing or epoxy/jerry rig this one?

thanks in advance.

here are the pics. and the video i took, which would be helpful, does not work.


^^^i circled the fog light because i know it is cracked, and is not really the problem now. light output is just fine.


^^^yet another view of the cracked lens. the circled part is obviously broken and i dunno how i should fix.


^^^this is the "top" screw i mentioned. the cord/sheath you see is the fog light wiring, the left side of the picture is toward the middle of the car.

 

honestly i'd just get an entire new housing. you dont want to deal w/ a broken lens as well as attempting to cheap fix the wobble. ask RussellM and see what price he can offer you

 

that or you can always grab these if you were planning on going this route for the color anyway

thanks raikiri. those ebay fogs look pretty good. but im also wondering if i need to remove the bumper to install?

 

Yes to make your life easier

 

hmmm. and i hear i need a rivet tool...
will i need to disconnect any wires and such?

 

this happened to mine, duct tape and epoxy for temp fix. i bought some ebay housings and replaced the bulbs with an hid kit. SEXY. worthed it.

 

that does sound sexy.
although i was thinking yellow fogs and HID heads.
but i guess i could do the other way around, and not have to buy expensive projectors and just get yellow head bulbs?

how did you replace the fogs/housings?

 

im in the process of installing my 3000k HIDs in my fogs right now but in the OEM housings. going to look sick with my 6000k HID headlights! =]

 

the housings are oem fit, they clip/screw into place. the fog itself is screwed it i believe if i remmeber right.... its been so long

 

you're right, that will look sick! please post pics when you're done.

humm, i was just wondering if i need to take off the bumper completely to remove the fog housing, cause i cant fit my hands up into the space around it. although i haven't tried it with the car jacked up.
(and i'm a little afraid to, my buddy's Tacoma just fell on him last week and broke his T12 vertebrae.)

 

You can remove the foglight housing with minor trouble but here's a pic that should help you decide what you need to to...

 

you do need to take the entire front bumper off to work on the fogs comfortably w/o having to work upside down and be confused and everything. it takes a total of like 5 mins or so to get it off.

 

It's only held on by 4 screws not very hard just take your tome if u strip one then your in for a world of hurt...
