D3 Foglights
One of my fog lights on my 2007 D3 is well foggy. What are they normally replaced with? OEM item?

If its just foggy effect inside, you can take them out and remove the bulb and give them a swirl inside with some Isopropyl Alcohol - leave to dry out and then refit - if the reflectors are corroded you will need to replace them unless you want to remove the lens covers and re-silver them and put back together.Must stop buying shiny toys....

That's great.
I'll see how bad they are when I open it up.

I fitted these a couple of years ago, the DRLs are still going strong

The fog lights on my 09 D3 look yellow up against the headlights. The foglight glass has some funny shapes inside it, and is a grey colour. Does this need taking off and cleaning etc.1955 SWB Series 1 86 inch

They will look yellow next to HIDs but this improves vision in fog.
But if the glass needs a clean use water band tiny bit of washing up liquid

Is the fog light unit interchangeable with a Ford Focus or similar? Sure I saw that somewhere many moons ago that it is and it's cheaper from them, but can I find it?! Can anyone confirm?
