Saturday we were in
DC most of the day but we got back early enough that I had enough time to fool around with the car.
The fog light on the MG has been out since shortly after I got it and I've been meaning to replace it. My idea was to climb under the car and take it off because you can't just undo the screw holding the rim of the light together because the badge bar and apron are on the way. I didn't jack the car up, just got under it, unfastened the bolt holding the light, and then removed the rim. The light is held in place by three spring clips, one of which managed to sail off into the unknown not to be found again until the following day. But I can't complain, I found the dammed thing.
I took the bulb to my local
Pep Boys but I did not expect that they would have it in stock. I was not disappointed. They did search the net and found the bulb I needed listed in several places. I could have done that myself but I appreciate the extra effort.
I found the bulb at
Replacement Light Bulbs for $8.49 plus shipping. It's not a GE but a Wagner but I don't really care so long as it works. I ordered right away and got confirmation today that it would be here in 3 to 5 days. Just in time for the weekend.
My plan was not to separate the fog light frame from the car but, as things would have it, re-assembling the whole contraption proved harder than I imagined. So I cut the wire and took the fixture off. I didn't see the point of reassembling until I had the new light so all the parts are sitting now in a bag on top of my workbench. We'll see what the weekend brings.
