    Foglight O-Ring

    Does anyone know the proper size o-ring seal for a late-model fog light light? Realoem.com doesn't list it separately.

    or

    How do I properly measure an existing o-ring and/or fixture to order one online?

    or

    Do you have a new one for sale?

    Thanks.

    Go to the dealer. It's $10 IIRC.

      If you are talking about the o-ring for the cover that comes off to replace the bulb, just go to a hardware store and match it up. Shouldn't be difficult to find one that fits. No exact size needed, just get one that is snug.

          Why don't you use a little black silicone? Its a lot cheaper.

            because the bulbs will need to be replaced occasionally.

              O-RING SIZE Found

              I found a suitable o-ring for the fog lights at Elliott's Hardware. The size is 1-7/8 x 2-1/16 x 3/32. @ $1.57 ea.

              Enjoy.
