Legacy/Forster Fog Light Fixes


Recommended Posts

I had a broken fog light on a 98 Legacy Outback. The lens was cracked. I pulled it apart and carefully pulled off the glass lens. Its held on with sealant.

 

Home Depot $4.00 8x12 lexan (cut it to fit the OD

RTV or other Quality Sealant $3.00

Glue it in place and replace the bulb if its bad.

My mirror finish was bad, but some chrome paint took care of that.

 

While I had it apart, I also checked to see if a old 4 bulb seal beam light would fit. With a little modification the bulb will fit right in. Get a seal beam plug from the yard, use the old bulb as your adapter plug. Wire the seal beam plug to the old bulb plug and seal it with RTV. That way you can always go back to original parts if you want.

 

Don't want to do this on your own, send me your old housing and bulb and I'll change them over for $25 ea.

You need to check this, as a clear lense may render the light useless and annoying to oncoming drivers. The lense is faceted the way it is to scatter the light in specific pattern. Shine the lights on a wall and see if the patterns match, i have a feeling the wont.
