the fog lights I bought didn't quite fit... so do the next best thing... fill it in... gonna sand n smooth it out tomorrow and paint it... my car looks like its been jacked right now... hahaha

 

i dont understand why they wouldnt fit?? did u have a bracket for em?

 

nope... didn't have the brackets... but its too little too late, plus after I paint it, it shouldn't look bad at all... it would have saved me a lot of time though...

 

wow! crazy! post pics when done

 

How you gonna get the bulbs out when they burn out? Would have been 100% easier with brackets + the bumper on the car so that you could mount them properly.

 

oo snap..good Question lol

 

haha, ouch. Good idea, just not enough planning. Hope you have a way to change those bulbs later.

 

eeewwwwwww umm bro should have saved for the brackets

 

ya, I realize that it was pretty bad planning on my part... but I don't know where to get some replacement brackets, if anyone knows, please private message me... thanx a bunch, and I'll post pics after I'm done with it all

 

I can't start my own threat *yet* so i'm going to ask here:

What about the rear license plate *lights*. Anyone else have a major problem getting the rusted screws out, to replace them?

What sucks is that you cannot apply too much pressure, because you'll just destroy the light housing/mount.

What's ironic, is that I got one screw out, from each light - which gives me no progress really.

Any suggestions before I go drilling or paying some unecessary fee?

 

get the "bit extractor" from sears or home depot.
that might help.
also, you might have to try soaking those screws with some kinda penertrating lube.
good luck.

 

ur one crazy dud man i would never do that to my car

 

what is that? a little bondo action??

 

ehh, its not big deal, I jus chipped off the filling and took off the fog lights tonight, sand it down, repaint it like new tomorrow morning, since I'm gonna be fixing that dent cause people seem to not know how to park and hit my car, and I"ll just go to sears to get those brackets... thanx for the advice... good looks..

 

yea um sears won't carry OEM brackets....

 

eh, then I'll just order new ones and sell the ones I have on ebay.. hahaha
its really no biggy

 

it sounds like a lotta work to end up where you started. oh well. any time spent in the garage with the Max is time well spent!

 

dam bro thats going a little too hard there

 

ya i never thought about changing bulbs, let alone, aiming those things all bondo'd in there, thats kinda crucial hehe

 

where did you buy them from? you can get the full kits on ebay with the brackets for like 150 or so.

 

I ordered them off ebay.. but it was an independant seller, so I guess thats why he didn't send the brackets, I just ordered new ones, plus I already chipped everything off, didn't take that long, bout an hour or so...

 

Very good move

 

ya, guess I just jumped the guns a little when I found out it didn't fit... lol, but then it was also my friend's advice to fill it in, henseforth he did all the work... bwahahhahah!

 

Wow dude, wow.

 

I don't know why a lot of pple are making such a big deal about this... everything is pretty much fixed now... but I"ll have to admit, it was very gun hoish of me... lol

 

No biggie, everyone makes mistakes, just glad you got to correct it in time
