fog lamp replaced

Had a broken passenger light. It took about an hour to replace it. While the new 1 was out I put yellow vinyl on it. Got a bit scarred up installing it but at 85mph you can't even tell ;-) Wrapped the drivers side as well to match. Wrapping it after the install seemed to be the better of the 2 ideas. Pretty pleased with how it turned out though.

I just seen that I have two broken fog lamps. I was undecided about replacing them myself. What was the cost of the fog lamp and how hard was the installation.

they were about 130 online. the dealer book says 1 hour drivers side and 1.3 hours passenger side. drivers will be easier since you won't have the oil cooler in the way. it's not difficult. There is a write up here somewhere to get an idea of how to do it.

Ebay has the hella foglamps for like $80/each. Since you are doung both, it would be quicker to take the bumper off and then swap them. I take the bumper off to replace even one.

To the OP, what kind of film is that? I had clear lamin-x film and it burned and turned black after a couple months.

I don't remember the brand. I've had it for about 3 years now. It was left over from some headlights I did on my race car. I do remember it being high temp film.

I got hella ones off ebay maybe a year and a half ago. Or it might have been off rock auto or something. Honestly I can't remember where I got them.
