Fog Lights, Assemby Options

[martinef1963]

I took my fog lights apart to have them cleaned, powder coated, new lens, etc....

Now that I have them back I can't figure how to put them back together and I can't find any diagrams, any one out there have a diagram, or point me out in the right direction?

I have the round original fog light, I have a 72.

thanks,

I had another person ask for the same advice in a PM. I figured I'd post the answer he so everyone can benefit:

1. Count your springs then divide by two (one pile for each light)
2. Put the gasket around the new lens.
3. Check the lens and the trim ring for alignment markings at the top and drop the lens in the trim ring.
4. Again check for alignment markings and lay the reflector assembly over the glass. (see notch in the above picture)
5. By this time you should have; Trim Ring then glass then reflector. Now install the springs in an even fashion around the assembly, you should have enough so as they would actually overlap. Start by slipping the short end under the lip on the ring with the V and notch resting on the reflector pushing it (the reflector) on to the glass and gasket. Next push the long end of the spring down and back under the lip of the trim ring. Repeat and go all the way around the assembly. Again, You may find yourself overlapping.
6. The small square springs attach to the housing and help the now completed ring assembly snap to the housing. (lower right corner of the picture).

Hope that helps.

P.S. Forgot... make sure those connectors and the brass ground strap in the first picture are clean. If you powdercoated, make sure it's all been removed from those.
