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!!

There is a hex-head bolt that attaches through the bracket in the photo above.

There should be a thread hole on the sheet metal of the car behind the grille.  You obviously have to take the grill off to get inside there.

Ahhhh....got it. I was looking at a different mount point entirely. I don't have my fog light grilles yet, so I didn't have anything to gauge where in the opening they belong. I wasn't looking at the correct mounting point because those mounting holes already have the mounting bolts installed in them from the factory (even on cars without factory fog lights). I now see why the first instruction in Haynes is to remove the bumper! The bolt head is partially obscured by the bumper.

Thank you! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

By the way, the seals fit and look great!
