metal thingys in the foglights?
hey guys, i got my truck back from the body shop, now the metal thingys inside of the foglights are laying at the bottom of the foglight...... is this a problem, should i take it back and have them fix that? or can i just take the light out and pull the metal thingys out?

This was previously known as the "Swoop1156 Foglight Mod". All it does [the metal things] is disperse the light in a different array.
Take the lights out of the valance, there are 3 screws holding it on.
Then, there are push-cip type connectors holsing the actual foglight together. Squeeze them and pull. You'll see.
Then, when apart, be VERY CAREFUL with the actual reflective material, it seems to be only a coating and can chip/flake off easily.
Re-assemble them in the reverse order as above.

i didnt have fogs originally in my truck i added them in. I found, that puting them in to be a real btch, and that if i ever traded my truck in, theyre going with the truck. Im not sure how factory fogs are mounted, but i used stainless steel bots with nuts and it was anything but fun, if it were for the fact that my valance was new- under a year old, i think i woulda snapped it in half cause theres 0 room to work
oh yea, about that lil metal thingy, mine fell off, in both, first the driversside, then the passenger side - i just said F it, u cant notice it unless ur lookin for it

The octagon pieces out should make the lights brighter. Those cover up alot of the bulb thus holding in the light they put out. Most other vehicles' fog lights are small bulbs, 35watts and such. Ranger's fogs are low beam bulbs, 45watts. I guess those are supposed to knock down the light a little. That's my idea.

ok so imma work on the foglights, now that the stupid *** body shop, didnt put a bulb in right... or something happened, i went to was the truck and the pass side f oglight was dangling.....
So, how can i get these metal clips out of my foglights?
