Replace The Fog Light

[mrfai]

I am having a 1998 S2 with two pair of fog light and I need to replace the once at the bettom.

but i have no idea how to take the light bulb out. can anyone tell me how to take it out please

Little silver bit clips out here..... see red arrow.

Then there's a 10 or 12 mm bolt behind holding the light in.

10mm from memory

also, the upper lights in the grille are actually your high beams

Has anyone replaced those fog lights with some decent driving lights?

[pipster11]

there are some metal covers inside, if you take them out you get a bit more light out of them

they are fogs so it'll always be a wide spread

i was thinking about getting some driving lights for below them or maybe next to the number plate tho

i actually had the lights on each side of the number plate which im sure are a dayz option with the kit...they were pretty

cool but got sacrificed for the intercooler...

Yeah I have those plus the ones in the front bar, ones front bar are yellow, bottom ones white

i heated of my outer lenses with a hair dryer then took out the two inner lenses, one clear the other orange to get the full

light spread. now the normal halogen light colour.

same, then i got some "5000k" halogen bulbs

basically normal bulbs with a blue coating

not as blue as the xenons, but a lot whiter than the stock bulbs

Interesting, thanks guys

I'm also going to look at fitting some big spotties as off the clock down country roads at night.. I want to be able to see more

[Stagea_Neo]

oh yeah regarding on bubba's comment on replacing driving lights, no.

found the one's in the grille quite good.

in saying that got a pair of nice 100w spotties out in the garage been boxed away for years new unused (gift).

similar size and shape to the cibie's on the dayz s2.

been eyeing of that aunger thing and umming/arrrring if i really need to get it and fit them.

[bubba]

That's awesome! cheers for that.. spotties on there and driving lights grafted into the foglight locations

Pipster are you talking about the yellow fogs in in the front bar with your indicators? I would like to do this and make them white if they are the ones you guys are referring too the yellow some how makes the car look more dated to me

4got to say, where some leather garden/rigger gloves, glass gets very hot.

sure am

put them in the oven with the temp on low ~80*c then slowly pull the lens off

once open, there is a yellow tinted glass in front of the bulb that just unscrews and comes off

[JDM_Spirit]

I threw my Fogs in the Oven after Preheating to 90c for 10min, the lens came off VERY easy with the help of a flat blade screwdivers.

I removed the Yellow Glass Filter + the Amber Filter for the indicator.

Recently installed 50 Watt 6000k HIDs in the Fog lights, Looks A MILLING DOLLARS!!!

I cant stress how much better it looks. IMO...

Just did this to a mates Stagea aswell.

That I have seen,read and heard, we're the only 2x on the coast with HIDs in the Fogs

which hid kid did you use?

its pretty much the only way to get the bulbs the same colour as the xenons
