Broken foglight :-(

Somewhere on the motorway between N Wales and here I've been hit by a stone :(
I bet you can't just get the glass. Anyone know how much the lamp unit is?

Mm that's possible. Is it easy to get off?

Can bet your life a £25 lamp becomes £125 when you go to a dealer.

Kev, did you pick up a new foglight cover and install it? If so, did you do it yourself and how much hassle was it?

Or how hard were you shafted by a dealership to fit it? :D

Hi Sam

I did it myself. Dead easy.
All detailed in this article
http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/roccop ... _Foglights" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The lamp was £49.99 from the parts dept. I just emailed them asking if they had a N/S rocco fog and they did so reserved it, picked it up and swapped it over in about 15 minutes (that included taking photos :)). The hardest part is getting the black plastic slat bit off but hot water is the trick to soften it all up then pull upwards until you hear a 'click' and then slide it towards the middle of the car.
