I've been restoring a pair of pre '75 round OEM fog lamps I bought used and in pieces. I've cleaned and repainted everything, and with the help of Karl's repro seals am ready to reassemble.
I'm guessing the wire spring clips are supposed to hold the lens/reflector assembly to the front bezel, but haven't figured out how they accomplish that task. Also, does the seal go around both the lens and reflector, holding them together as an assembly? Any guidance or links to an exploded view? Thanks!! |

Thank you and thank you!!
Got the seal on the lens, the reflector then fits around the lens and seal. The lens/relfector assembly fits in the bezel (bezel has a small orientation notch that receives ridge on lens) and the wire springs hold it in nice and tight. There isn't any seal between the lamp housing and the bezel/lens/reflector assembly which seems weird. Perhaps it is protected enough by it's location? The Haynes manual, says to remove the bumper to install the fog light, but that can't be right. I've removed the grille and I see the hole in the bottom of the grille opening that looks like it is for for an attachement bolt. Is that where the bracket attaches? There is very little space between the bottom of the bumper and the front valance. What kind of bolt are you supposed to use to attach the lamp bracket to the car? Thanks again. |
