Eddie1996 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I picked up a cracked driver's side fog light (still works), on the track at Donington Park a few weeks ago. Just got the quote from RSJ Sports cars to fix: £185.06 +vat and one hour labour at £80 +vat. So over £300 for a bit of cracked glass - OMG Big shock. I guess I have to say to myself, welcome to Porsche-land! 😅 No wonder you guys like doing your own maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennym1984 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Buy one from ebay and fit it yourself. It takes no more than 10 minutes to replace the fog light but obviously a garage will need to charge for an hour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right hand side (Off side / passenger) appear to be plentiful and cheap - £90 upwards new. The drivers side appears to be uncommon and expensive ! Unless this is the whole fog light for the drivers side: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264540719951 In which case - after an email to the seller to check - I’d snap it up ! Good luck to the OP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlosRich Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Eddie1996 has a Gen2, I can also vouch for the fact they are £200 each. Also very rare on the used market. They are pretty easy to fit though. The plastic surround unclips, 2 screws to undo, unplug and it's out. I covered both mine in some 3M PPF, got a little sheet off eBay, hopefully might stop it happening again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie1996 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Thanks very much for comments & advice. Apologies for being slow to respond, I forgot to follow my own topic. Fitting oneself does sound the way to go - thanks again for the pointers. Naturally it is the expensive driver's side lamp!

Windymiller Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Be aware there are 2 different types for the gen 2. Normal halogen bulb units and something snazzy (possibly part of the PDLS option?). I had to replace the passenger side (normal halogen) one a couple of months ago at full price from OPC (minus 10% Porsche club discount - just say you’re a member and give any 6 random numbers if asked for membership details). the cheap ones I kept finding on eBay were all the other type strangely. oh and obviously gen 1 and gen 2 fog lights are different too. 🤷♂️ Edited April 26, 2021 by Windymiller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
