toofunkyhouse 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 hi all, just fitted some smoked/crystal fogs and indicators and just cant get the indicators to sit flush, they clip in but poke out at the fog light side, any tips on how to get them flush? should i bond them in place?

Karr-Man 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 trouble is no matter how well u seal them they always end up letting water in, ive had to take mine off a few times now to drain them out and dry them, if u bond them then u will have difficulties:/if u do come up with a solution tho i'd be interested to hear it as i have the same trouble Link to post Share on other sites

Karr-Man 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 yeah i think its a combination of the weak spring clip that hold them in place, and the fact that they push against the bumper section behind where the blanking plate used to go for the regular indicators.ive gotta say tho, even when they stick out a bit they still look miles better than the standard crap Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Snigger.....Ok so there is a list of tools you need....Slim screwdrverPlierssomething to sit onBathroom sealant (Clear)FingerClothPatienceThis does work....TBH this prep work is usually best done in advance in front of the TV watchin' your fav show.Using bathroom sealant go around the join where lens meets case. Use the bathroom sealant and finger method of ... spreading a little at a time so it remains looking pretty. Allow to dry !!!! Some people like to reduce the hole diameter on the breather pipe though I am not a fan of this...Fit new... If not flush remove and with a great deal of care bend the metal clip to find flush fitting position.... Pliers and finders work well here. Also a seating position on the floor with padding (Unless you have your own natural varierty of course....)That's it. No other way around it I am afraid...NJOY Link to post Share on other sites
