Brilliant.

Thank for the quick reply.!

Yes. As it's pre-2018, front fogs are not required

I wasn't aware that front fogs were 'required' at all, whether pre or post 2018. Do you mean it is only after 2018 that cars built after that date are covered by the MOT for their road worthiness? Or perhaps the very similar in placement / look daylight running lights?

My 2005 built Mazda3's front left fog had a crack in the lens for a few years and always passed its MOT (the light did still illuminate, not that I every needed to use it during that time). I only recently replaced the unit on mine becase the crack developed into a hole, though the lamp still worked.

The OP may be lucky to source the housing (including lens) and have the existing bulb / wiring refitted at a slightly lower cost than the entire unit, which for what you get isn't cheap. Most dealerships will charge at least an hour's labour plus part(s), which is likely to set the OP back £250+ for an entire replacement, perhaps about £175 if they can source the housing (incl. lens) only via a decent pattern parts seller / ebay and have it fitted at an indie.

For mine,you have the choice of going through the wheel well (which I was told 'could' be done but could break bits by doing so [was cheaper in terms of time spent]) or the 'manufacturer's recommended' way by taking the front bumper off.

All that for just the need to replace a cracked lens on a non-MOT item (at least on my car).

Careful Adam

If the broken glass has jagged edges that protrude beyond the body line so that anyone brushing across it can injure them selves then it is an offence under con and use regs parts and accessories in such condition as likely to cause danger.

personally i would get if fixed new glass from a scraooer
