I searched for a DIY to confirm but couldn't find it.

quick story is this: my driver's side fog light is messed up somehow (seal is broken or something). 2 bulbs went out in it (within a week or 2 of install) and the inside of the glass is all fogged over (yellow in color now). So, I bought a set of fog lights just to replace that one. The seller contacted me last night asking if he could buy one back because someone else messaged him asking for the other because he only needs one as well.

The thing is, I think he needs the same side as I do. So will this work? I'm looking at them now and it does not seem that the housing and brackets are interchangeable, and one housing has L and the other R. So I'm assuming that this wont work. Also, they dont seem to fit the other bracket properly. So before I drive out or tell him it wont work, can anyone confirm whether or not they can be interchanged?

Thanks for any help!

 

and never mind... I just payed attention and realized "hey, there's 3 parts that are supposed to line up with the bracket". Guess that answers my question.

 

If the bulbs got touched in anyway by your fingers, or the housing or anything, they blow up just like what you described that.

Make sure that if you accidentally touch them that you go back and clean them with rubbing alcohol or acetone before installing them and turning them on.

 

I know I didn't touch them. It went out, got replaced by mazda for free. That went out while I was waiting on hoens and then that went out when I put those in. I did see moisture in that fog light before the first one went out, but that was months before anything happened.
