Foglight yellow cap came off

[mirrorimg]

I noticed when I got my car that the little yellow buklb cover in my headlight was off. I thought I would be able to stick it back on, but now realize that it is broken. I dont see any way or reaching it to fix it, ie glue it back on, other than baking by light to remove the cover. I have some JDM headlights, with the integrated foglights. Ill put a picture up in a minute. Any one have advice, other than removing the lense?

Remove the lense, or get a new assembly.

Well I though it would be easy, but I came across numerous screws that I wasnt able to get to, that were screwed from the housing, into the lense. I went a different route. I used some covered wire to fish it back into where it needed to be, and managed to smear some glue/epoxy/whatever I had on hand to secure it. It was definitely tedious, and if you look closely you can tell its jacked up, but who goes nose to nose with headlights? Unfortunately I missplaced foglight bulb, along with all the screws and retainers that I need to reattatch my bumper. Pretty frustrating. :evil:

heykosal, I will probably take your advice when I have sufficient cash to get one. I didnt check to see what the temperature ratings on the glues that I used prior to well, using them. After I turned on my foglight, I noticed the light dimming, until I couldnt see it projected onto the wall. the glue was burning... The yellow cap has darkened enough not to allow out any usable light. Oh well, atleast it doesnt bounce around in the headlight anymore!
