Friday I noticed that my right side fog lamp was missing!! :confused: :mad2:

I got under the car and it was hanging by the wire!! :bows: I disconnected the wire and the screws that hold it to the bumper facia were still there but the lower plastic bracket was broken? :confused:

It seems when I ran over the plastic junk on the interstate a month or so ago it discombubilated(sp) the fog lamp as well as destroying the plastic access flap below it!! :o Called my dealer and the fog lamp bracket is $9.00 so I will have it fixed next week....For now a bit of duck tape and no high speed runs!!! :beer:

So the airdam isn't broken? It's just the bracket that broke? Odd.

The "air dam" like thingy in front of the tire is cracked so I'm replacing it too but I cannot see where it would directly effect the foglamp support point?? It is supported at the bottom by a plastic push pin in the bumper facia. :confused:

What surprises me is both top screws in the mounting bracket backed out and were still in the bracket?? Lucky?? :bows:

Does not suprise me,Months after a left front deer hit,I was looking around the car,( shortly after I noticed plastic pieces inside the bottom of my air box)looking for other stuff, the bodyshop that did the repair, might have missed.

I found the foglamp bracket was cracked .The lamp was in crooked and loose.
I did not bother the body shop with the issue.The part was >five bucks,and my dealer installed for gotts.:twocents: :P .
So I can see how a hit that is severe enough to punture the bumper cover could easily crack or distort a flimsy plastic bracket.
