hi guys

i have an e30 without fog lights. Instead i have the blanking covers where the space for them is. i just notices today whilst waxing my car that one of them is missing!! i didn't hear it fall off or anything either.
I was just wondering what the best way to attach a second hand one is?

Do they just clip in or do they need to be glued or should i use some strong double sided tape?

i had a look in the gap and could not work out how they stay in there


Thanks

Dean

they are held in by small plastic clips. you can also get a set of foglight mounting clips which consist of a plastic clip and a 8mm screw.

Do dealers stock them?

ask zimmerbimmer1 on here, I'm sure he can sort you out.

I've got one missing, have lost 3 before that. So I've just given up and left it.

thanks guys, im in NZ so it owuld probably be easier for me to check out a dealer here than get them sent form the UK.

if the clips are broken is it eay to put new ones back on?
