Guys,

Where's a good place to get fto wrecks in Melbourne? I'm looking for a right hand lamp for my fto coz it's fogging up with water droplets. Thanks

thought about just fixing the problem urself?

right hand lamp as in your head light or your fog light?
either way same fix, bake it to open it, there's a diy for it floating around on the net.
once its opened, make sure u clear the air vents in it, wipe it, might as well polish it as well, then put it back together by baking again, but before u press the 2 pieces together stick a packet of those silicon moisture thingos (u know the ones that come in shoe boxes) somewhere in there.

and u'll be right as rain.

well it's a bit more serious than i thought, the two plastic holes that has the screws which screws the whole light to the car, one of em is broken so the light is sorta swaying a bit so i thought mind as well replace the whole thing, dats why looking for the wreckers for one.

u dont have the broken bit do you?... if u do then all u need is some good epoxy

1 problem with looking for headlights at wreckers for these kind of cars is... basically the only reason they end up in the wreckers is being written off by accidents... and sadly most of these accidents hit at the front end, so headlights are the first to go.

good luck
