That's why I use jb-weld to fill in the + of the screws, in addition to tying them with skinny metal wires from the back.

Man, I grew up in South Philly (YO!) and I'm in Jersey suburbs now - this reallly pisses me off when I hear this stuff. I like Pete's idea of swapping out the screws. I wish I knew what people were doing with fog lights, I wouldn't think there would be much demand for them except from the people they're stealing them from.

ummm i just thought of an idea....

the fogs on my gs4, they are not going anywhere... they are blocked by my front lip kit and it can't come out at all (not even moving a bit) unless you take off teh front lip first

so, if you get a front lip kit then you might have the fogs blocked?

ok, who wants my ugo body kits?

What happens if you have to replace the bulb or something?

I am planning to buy the yellow fogs-what is the best way to keep them safe? I heard change the screws-someone said tie them with wires, how does this work?

sorry to hear about the theft

Anyone know where I can get the clear fog lamp housing? Do dealerships sell them with the yellow glass and clear? My local doesn't

We should keep an eye on this -- if anyone on CL buys one of these from him, please provide his payment address if available.
He wants $20 bucks to ship a foglight? Sounds kinda steep.

I wrote him an e-mail today stating that the authorities are looking for a thief in philly area etc...I saw another GS with missing fogs yesterday.

They are more stricker in NJ that philly...I am not sure what they are going to do if they catch him. I reported it anyway. So the cops in this area are aware of this. I am going to report if I see any suspecious activity on ebay.

Let us know if he gets back to you. You gotta wonder where he's getting all those fogs. Actually, you really don't have to wonder -- it's pretty obvious. The only question is whether he's your man.
