bumpy roads suck... look what they did to my fog light! it popped out of the socket, and them proceeded to melt a quarter sized hole in my bumper!

 

[LazyJoeJr]

wow i would be pissed...lol how fast were you going?

 

[verto]

no idea. just noticed it today when i went to the post office, left my car running with lights on, came out and saw the light under the car, was like WTF IS THIS SHIT!

 

[LazyJoeJr]

Man that sucks big time. What type of bulb are you running?

 

[verto]

just some hid match halogen fog bulbs.

My fog bulbs barely fit in the sockets, i have always worried about something like this happening. It really doesn't make sense, the little tabs line up but when you push in and spin it doesn't form a solid connection like all the other bulbs with similar connectors do. That sucks

 

[LazyJoeJr]

Im currently running Hoen Xenonmatch bulbs and they feel snug in the socket. I dont think a bumpy road could nock them loose

I just ordered HID fogs last night anyway

 

[cali_axela]

I have those exact same bulbs... was I the one who recommended them to you actually? Haha. I think mine don't fit because the little metal diffuser in the housing isn't perfectly aligned and the bulb gets stopped by it, i've just been too lazy/busy to take them off the car and fix them.

Haha most likely :lol:

no idea what's wrong with them, too cold to worry about it right now, i just shoved it up in the bumper and turned my fogs off... the drivers side is fine so idk why it fell out...

 

[cali_axela]

Compare the positioning of the little metal diffuser dishes in both fog housings. Is the one on the driver's side offset from the bulb a little? This thread motivated me to take a closer look at mine and that was totally the problem

 

[verto]

no clue, cant see them, it's freezing so i'm not about to take my bumper off and fix it :lol:

 

[cali_axela]

Don't need to take the bumper off. Just remove the underbody cover and jack it up a little, you'll be able to take the foglight housings completely off the car in about 10 minutes tops. Just 2 more screws each.

[cali_axela]

:shock:

 

[blam]

maybe you should put the bulbs in properly?

mine are a beeeeyotch to remove.

 

[verto]

i've never taken them out... i think the housing was loose like cali said. the driver side one was tight.

 

[blam]

you took them out when you put the hid match ones in...

 

[verto]

they were on the car when i bought it.

 

[blam]

well then....
