hmmm, thats actually pretty clever! if i need to replace the complete lens, i'll do that.

^^ This is not just the lens it's the complete (bosch Pilote ) what I did was cut the oe casing in half & glue the Bosch in there ,the reason for this is that by using part of the oe casing you have all the original attachements points since the Bosch by themself won't fit in there .The bumper is not an euro spec it was modified to look like one by removing those ugly rubber molding & filling out the holes, then I frabricated the molding around the signal ligths assembly.I also went to AIR for a fiberglass rear bumper witch once install made the car look lot shorter.But believe me when I say those mods are not done in a couple of hours you got to take your time & try to come up with something that look decent & will keep the flavor of the 944 line as OE as possible.

bringing this back... had to drill one of my screws out and it broke the fog lamp housing...
I bought a used fog lamp assembly, just wondering how much of a pain it is to get the housing out from the back? the car is in a single car garage and i dont really have much room to jack it up.

anyone have a pic of the back side?

can anyone tell me some more about this 3rd screw that is used to adjust the beam? My driver side fog light is pointing way to the left. I didn't see anything on clarks on how to adjust it.

Any way to also adjust the main headlights? id like them to point up and forward some more, they kinda point at the ground it seems. Couldn't find any info on clarks about adjust the main beams either.

Thanks,
Keaton

There are 4 screws that holdthe whole light assembly in that come out from the back. Mine were 4 short phillips head screws. One in each corner.

ya i reused mine, i still have yours just incase, but they wanted $300 to fix it... the chain was the biggest concern. One of the links shifted to the side and was coming down on the teeth crooked. (probably what broken them)

it's running now, just got it safetied finally and plated. I'm going to do one DE at Mosport (my work puts one on every year and a customer appriciation thing to all the Audi customers) then next year start driving it.
