Default D3 Fogs

Just a mention of a bit of work I did on Saturday that I thought worth sharing.

Since I changed the bulbs a few weeks ago they've been misted due to moisture and looked terrible so I looked at replacing them. A quick Google search led me to Europarts and I purchased a pair of replacements last week for the princely sum of £22.99 each plus VAT. I noticed on the collection note that the price per unit was listed as £80 so I assume they must be discounting them heavily right now? I checked at my local dealer and they quoted £96 per unit so £23 is a bargain in my books

Anyway, an hours work on Saturday and all done, looking much better. The old units weren't sealing properly because the plastic clips were brittle when I changed the bulbs and broke, meaning they no longer provided a seal when put back together. The lenses were showing the signs of 120,000+ miles of motoring so a change was needed. I just need to justify spending £120 on a pair of replacement grilles now
