Problem With Screws On Fog Lamp Brackets
Problem With Screws On Fog Lamp Brackets
Ok, I have to replace the fog lamps and the brackets, and I have the two new lamps and the brackets. While looking at the situation the other day, I am seeing that the screws that are currently holding the old brackets to the car are extremely rusted and look like they will possibly break off when I go to take them off tomarrow. Any ideas on how I should go about doing this? Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!
Mine broke on me when I changed out my fog light. I just had to re-drill a new hole in the bracket. You will want to tap the holes or use a bolt, cause the metal of the bumper will strip the bolts.
Other wise, soak them in PB blaster and heat them up. Good luck.

I got 2 that snaped when i put them in. and well i cant fit my drill in there cause its the rear 2. I was looking for some screw extractors but i haven't had time yet to go do it by hand.
it looks like there are three 3/8 bolts that hold the bracket in place. they are located on the top of the bracket. If you have a drill with an Angle bit you should be able to get it in there and a little WD40 might help.. one of my brackets are broken, how much did you guys buy the brackets? and where?

thats good and bad, at one point it might just rust to death where u might need to change it out and then u can't but that is " maybe" but good deal overall.
