rusty bolts

So I go to try and change out my foglight bulbs and start taking the bolt alose to find out the there so rusty that they all broke. So I try to ghetto rig the light in with jamming some screws in between the light and bumper which held together for some time until some *** backs up to my car at a gas station. So I get out to see if there's any damage which there wasn't but I seen a screw on the ground not realizing that I was from the lights and started driving to catch up to this nice all white se 4thg. Then I hear a skidding sound like "this guys car has a problem" until another car was on the side of me and I heard the same sound. I pull over and want do you know, both of my light hanging out cracked up. So now I'm fogless, just my story....

I would've zip tied them. They probably would've held up better than those screws.

I ran my CAI set up like that for a bit while I was doing my fog retro and I loved it.

what up J2. Hey, if you need some help with the fogs, let me know.

I had to do a bulb swap and it was a *****, but I got it done with no damage.
I agree that the water sheild bolts are garbage. I replace a couple with new bolts and zip tied a couple as well.
