Hi all.

I have 2 sets of fog lamps with.

1 with cracked lenses and the other set with damaged casings.

Can I put the good lenses on the good casings?

Or are damaged lenses repairable / replaceable?

Cheers.

Iv just bought a replacement face lift passagerside fog lamp,well to cut a long story short the inner lense was loose so i got the right sealant and today was going to remove the lense and reattach the inner lense and reseal ,i f***ing broke the glass ,it is a total c**t to do .if i had a second chance i would cut the plastic close to the glass with a dremel cutting disc and slowly section by section remove the plastic from the glass with a little heat,so if iv put you off ,ha ha. look up in the search funtion" replace fog light glass"there was a guy in moscow selling them and i used the link today and it seems hes still selling them,iv pmed him today,
If you cant find this pm me,and good luck,im 45 quid down and pissed***

Mate you could have bought a new fog lamp for that.

Thanks for the reply but I think a replacement is better than the aggro of a repair.

I guess.

I thought they were replaceable but they're sealed in. Cue cutting and bodge gluing etc.

A mail-in repair service would be great.
