The car arrived missing a front fog/turn signal lamp unit that had apparently been stolen at some point and it’s grill removed and stowed in the trunk. The fog lamp was the first job tackled as I had come across a set of replacement lamps a week before I took delivery of the car and had them on  hand.

There was a distinct scratch in the paintwork just above the lamp mount. When I removed the mount a very evenly rusted old end to a slot screwdriver fell out.  For some reason the left over evidence and that the thief broke his screwdriver made me laugh out loud. Never a good thing to be caught doing alone in the garage.

Tackling wiring on this car is a breeze. The wires are nice thick gauge and the connectors are slot-head screws – no delicate stuff here.

The lamps bolt in from behind the front fascia panel and the only thing that you’ll need to remove is the air filter housing. if you have to work on the one on that side. The left side has clear access.

To make sure that the lamps matched I bought a pair and replaced both.
