Foglight Replacement
All,
I have to replace a foglight due to a cracked lens, I now have the new lamp and am ready to replace the cracked unit.
Do I replace the whole unit or should I re-use the back housing from the existing unit which will presumably make the job easier?
Is this a straightforward job? is there anything I need to watch out for?
Thanks,
Kevin.

I've replaced a fog light on my car for a cracked lens. You have to swap the whole assembly. The lens is not removable. After I installed mine, I installed some plastic protection. I didn't like the cost of replacing lenses. I used Stonguard from Zims in Texas. I installed the stonguards on both my fogs and H4's. 7+ years and no more cracks. ;-)
Peter's reminder on not touching the bulb is important. The oil on you hands will cause the bulb to burn out quickly. If you do touch it, wash it down with brake cleaner before installing.
