Cracked Fog light and road trip tomorrow!!
Hello all, here is my issue. I washed my car today before a 700 mile road trip. I noticd my passenger side fog light has a circular crack in it...looks like one impact point started it.
I don't have time to get it fixed...what should I do for the trip...place tape on the crack for support?
Thanks for you time fellas

replace it after you come back from road trip.

Put Lamin-X on the new one to protect it.

Araldite ( 2 pack epoxy resin) up the crack which will seal the internals & prevent weather damage. Will last the life of the car.

Sport or Lux? If sport it is fairly easy and the price is for the whole assembly, lens and reflector are one unit. I gave instructions in a different thread on how to replace the sports fogs, a search should find it. I can't help with a Lux I don't have one and my brother won't let me mess with his.
