i bought some new fog light bulbs this week so thought id give them a quirk refurb.
ive got some photos as well so here it is
start by removing the fog light (no pics but dead easy)
remove the gille and 2 torx bolts on he side of the light then unplug the wire
should end up with this.
next is to remove the bulb and split the housing.
to split the housing you need to pull theese clips back and the metal back will slide away from the plastic housing
you also need to remove this screw
now once the they seperated you will have this
one of mine was like this
i washed the plastic housings in warm soapy water (no pics) but self explaining
the metal rear parts of the housing i sanded with some p600 sandpaper.
then i just got a tin of satin black and applied a few thin coats inside and out.
have a cuppa while paint dries...........
right now the paint is dry its simply puting it back together.
which i shoudlnt need to exln plusi ddnt take pic of the rebuild.
but this i what they loked like back togethr with the new bulbs in
im going to wet sand the clear lenses and g3 them at a later date
final pic
please excuse the unpainted lowers, its getting painted next week
