Front Bumper Lights Repair

Replacing the fog lights after the spin smashed them both 😞 

This is a rather painful job as the screws you need to remove to get the lens out are always rusted because of the corroding from the crap off the road. You can get them out via the back of the bumper but you have to remove the wing liners and front section where the air filter lives. 

When disassembling the glass, the bolts often break off due to rust or the fastening points of the housing break off. The "metal inserts" of the original housing get stuck due to corrosion and cannot be removed, the fastening points break off. Drilling out the metal inserts is almost impossible and new units are unavailable.

Porsche 928/944 supplies new fog light housing units with stainless steel inserts. Check out their funny YouTube video



Added some fog light covers from Rose Passion & Automation


The covers come with a mounting bracket on the inner side of the lights, which does not look like it can hold the covers in place, so I used clear double-sided Gorilla mounting tape to stick them onto the expensive fog light trim finishers on the outer side 


Finished units don't look that bad with the fog light condoms on. You can just about tell they are there, it's safe but it's not the same as with no light condoms 😆
