Foglight - n/s

[Robert Offer]

Hi all,
This is becoming too regular already - requesting help means problems!
On my Vectra "Y" reg - still under G'tee ...........
I just noticed this afternoon that my nearside foglight has a lot of water
in the bottom of it (it's one of the small "button" types). As best as I can
make out it MAY have a small pin prick in the lens, I can't be absolutely
sure, but not what I would have considered big enough to let a lot of water
in. This is not just condensation.
I wonder if it might be anything else? - anything common? - better still
anything that might be under warranty?
I suppose it means a replacement unit and I suspect we are talking lots of
££££££££££££ ?????
Is it easy to do yourself or are we talking having to take the underwing
out-etc?
Thanks
Rob. <((

The lens is a lot bigger than the small 'button' that you see, could be a
crack in the lens or the seal around the lens may have failed. Not too many
££ to replace but you need to remove the bumper to do the job ( 3x8mm screws
to remove the grille then 2x8mm screws hold the bumper to the headlamps ,
2xT25 screws under the corners of the bumper and 2xT25 screws behind the
arch liners at the top corners of the bumper and finally 4x plastic clips
hold the bottom edge of the bumper to the subframe). Maybe a job for the
dealer after all !

Good luck!
