screws must of backed out. looks like it might be ok to put back in get some wood screws and tighten her up.

Mine was half loose. One mounting point was broken. I used a little clear silicone glue when I replaced them and it holds tight as a drum and you can't see the silicone. This is a common problem for some reason. BradleyG has it too.

I replaced mine because one had water in it. The other one is totally fine and I still have it. I can make you a very good deal on it. Let me know.

Someday you'll look back and laugh...

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

I know exactly what Mac means being frustrated with his car, last night I had to grab my ipod out of the MM, and noticed the first button of the keypad doesn't light up! WTF..is it that difficult to get some half decent LEDs in there and under the cheapass window switches, cause apparently it is also a common problem? (Mine come on whenever it wants to) :shake:

[justbob]

What are you guys doing to these driving lights? Sorry Mac, I get ya. Seems everytime I drive my escort, green stuff is leaking out yet another damn hole...

[TiTo35]

Theres a light for the first switch?!?!?

[MrBluGruv]

I find these things as proof that we really do LOVE the car, because any other car and no one would think twice about getting rid of it with the problems it has.

I'm about fed up!

[Joe Walsh]

Someone posted a thread about how another Ford vehicle's fog light assembly was essentially the same as a Marauders...yet 1/2 the cost.

Does anyone remember which car it was from?

[musclemerc]

FBM posted it they were from a Mazda Miata and they went up as soon as we started buying them.

[4play]

Also the focus svt the newer ford escapes, mazes mpv miata and a certain mustang model has them too.

If it's any consolation mine are full of water from going boating last week during the storm.

That's what she said! :puke:

[CBT]

That's what she said! :puke:

That just never gets old. HA! That's what she said!

[2,4shofast]

I just replaced mine about two weeks ago with the Miata lights. I believe they were about $85 for the pair shipped.

[DOOM]

That just never gets old. HA! That's what she said!

:high5:

:beer:

[Mac-MerC]

Just my luck..... not covered under my warranty....

[Mac-MerC]

Dude!

Look at the first to pictures in your first post. The foglight attaches to the bracket that has the flange sticking out of the bottom of it. The bracket is the black or dark grey piece and the foglight is the brown colored piece. Try separating them. I think there is 3 screws that hold the foglight in the bracket.

[musclemerc]

^^What he said. The first pic in your post has the foglight and the mounting bracket. remove the light, reinstall the bracket (in your pic), then a new foglight assembly. If your wiring harness is damaged rockauto.com has them for the foglight

[Mac-MerC]

Dude! i can tell that some pieces are broken off dumbass. i would lke to compare it to a non molested piece. why is it that hard to grasp what the hell im talking about?.... dont reply if u wanna b a jerk and shid damn Dude!

was a waste of time to ask. fastblack please dont ever reply to any of my post anymore. as soon as i learn how to block ppl u will b the first one. all i did was ask for a picture.... if u did not have a picture u should have not commented

have a blessed day

[Speed]

Mac-Merc,
I have an extra one but where the light bulb mounts is stripped a little but bracket portion is in good shape. Its yours if you want it.

There is nothing broken off the bracket dumbass. The screws just came out. The bracket screws into the bumper.

What a moron!

WRONG!

"That's what the priest said!"

[Motorhead350]

Was your car in a accident before? I had this happen about three times, but this was after a few wrecks.... after the repairs...

In the end just bolt it back on. Maybe bigger screws from a hardware store will do the trick. I have a few screws from Menard's on my car due to these issues and the solution works. Stove bolts work great!

[20Marauder04]

im not sure if anyone hasd posted this but i just finished servicing a 2004 mercury menterey (minivan) and noticed they had the same foglights as our marauders. just my .02

sorry for the big pictures.

Now if u can look at these pictures and tell me that somethings are not broken off and truely believe that.... u need to get your eyes checked.
tell me what screws have to do with anything in these pictures....... please do

half of one clip is gone... another L/J silver piece is broken off... i dont know if that piece in the first pic thats all scratched up serves a purpose but maybe the end of it did something before it was molested.

[dj_pizm]

Im n miami and my driver side fog light bracket cracked so if any one can fix cheaper than dealer cuz warranty dont cover

[musclemerc]

^^^Mail it to me and I will weld it for you.

[tbone]

I told you I have a fog light that I will make you a very good deal on. No response. I guess "free" isn't a good enough deal......Hmmmph.

[fastblackmerc]

Dear?

Was that your wife or an animal?

[sailsmen]

Assuming the fog light on the other side is not damaged use it as a guide to get the parts and reassemble the damaged fog light.

You are right, I would not be happy if my fog light was hanging out the car. The screws may have backed out or it may have had contact with something. I have never heard of this before.

It happened to my left side foglight. I purchased 2 new ones and converted them to HIDs.

Sylvania makes SilverStar turn signal bulbs that appear blue/chrome color when off and then a dark amber color when on.

it does look a little banged up huh, maybe to save a few bucks, just epoxy around the broken clips, and it should be ok to put back in the car, 2 weeks after I put 2 brand new lights in me car one got smashed.. now I have one new one and i put one of the old pitted ones back in. looks like crap.
