Pain in the backside
 

Tackled installing my euro fog light (with switch and harness) this last weekend. What a pain that was. I could't get the nuts holding the dummy light on off for the life of me. nothing but spinning :mad:

so we had to use a little forced action.

Drilled out the dummy. I would have rather saved it but there was no way it was coming out!

The part where the screws go on, the stubs, are pretty flimsy and crack easily. I think I heard a slight 'crunch' when I was putting on the actual fog light, which is way worst than the dummy. I must have overtightened a bit :( ....oh well. At least I know it's not going to fall off...I hope.

this is wat i had to do on mine a few yrs back.

Got lucky with this myself. Since so many others had problems I knew going in it would be an issue. So when I put my wrench on the nut I went VERY VERY easy. No sudden jerks or forced leverage. If you do that at any time you are screwed, because once it starts spinning you're done. So as David Coverdale once sang, just take her down Slow and Easy......

I like this new technique though!!!!! Simple and effective. Just drill through the lens!!!. Awesome. :tup:

I was almost going to leave the dummy for another day, but it bugs the heck out of me when I can't/don't finish something!

just like the shift knob, some folks get it easy. but on mine, i went very slow & gentle... no dice. i was nice to it, but it wasn't to me...so i sliced it in half. :p

OUCH!!! :eek:

Hate to hear you had to slice your knob in half!!!! :eek2:
