Foglight Question....

Ok, I was changing the bulbs on my factory fogs, and not one, but BOTH bolts snapped off at the head as I was trying to get them out(stupid rust). Can I drill the rest of the screw out after I take off the nut holding the other side of the screw in(btw, whats the size on that?), or do I have to get a whole new bumper?

That would probably be the easiest thing to do. I would probably find some stainless bolts, too. That way you don't have the same problem.

i had the same problem... here is what i did.

1) take the enitre braket off where the bolt is...
2) drill out the bolt (with a large size drill)
3) then use zipties to secure the light to bracket
4) put bracket back in

hope that helps some, the light giggles a tiny bit but it was the only solution i could think of (tried boring out to bigger bolt but didnt work...)
