Buying a used fog light: what to check

  1. Inspect glass or plastic lens for cracks: Check for stone chips, spiderweb fractures, or heavy hazing that permits moisture into the lamp housing.
  2. Check internal reflector bowl chrome: Examine the inner chrome plating to ensure heat from high-wattage bulbs has not peeled or blackened the mirror finish.
  3. Verify mounting eyelets and adjuster screws: Ensure plastic mounting tabs and the vertical beam aiming screw are intact and un-stripped.
  4. Inspect bulb socket moisture seals: Check rear twist-lock bulb sockets for dry-rotted rubber sealing gaskets or corroded terminal spades.
  5. Match lighting housing technology: Verify whether your trim uses standard reflector bowls, projector lenses, or integrated LED light engines.
