nixy Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hi guys and girls Car has failed MOT due to the fog light not working. Simple fix you would think BUT because the car is an import it originally had two reverse lights and no fog. One of the reverse lights was swapped for a fog light at SVA (somehow). The mechanic took the bumper off to discover the light had melted.... and he doesn't really know what to stick in there as its not a nissan part - it's a 'been made to fit' job which has lasted five years! Seems the best thing to do would be to swap the indicator/fog cluster for a uk one. I've tried Lee and waiting for him to get back to me, no reply from Alex which must mean he hasn't got one, and CS hasn't got one. Also waiting for mechanic to send me a pic (but he hasn't got back to me!) as the original importer may be able to help but needs to see it. Start a new job on Monday and can really do without the stress.............any ideas? (not including one of those horrible stuck on your bumper items) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 So let me get this right, you need the offside fog and indicator cluster, no bulbs just the cluster? I still have my old one lurking about. If this is the one you need PM me your addy and you can have it. I would have used it when returning my car back to stock but will make an allowance for a lady in distress.
