Hi Everyone,
I've just recently purchased a 2002 Landcruiser 100 series and loving it. I unfortunately discovered that the front driving / fog lights in the bumper aren't working.
I undid the front lens and found several problems:
1) Two of four wires on the lights have been cut and I'm unsure where the wires originally connected
2) The seal to the lights is ruined
3) The housing where the lights plug into seems corroded
My guess is that water entered the lights over time and eventually shorted out. I'm also guessing that rather than fixing the problem (new lights?), someone decided to cut some of the wires to the lights and not worry about it.
My questions are this:
1) What are these lights even for? Fog lights? Driving lights? Something else??
2) Can the lights be replaced with aftermarket fog lights that only have one bulb instead of two? Would this affect RWC?
3) If I have to stick with stock type lights (two light bulbs per housing, with half clear and half orange), any idea how this needs to be wired?
4) If I have to stick with stock type lights, any suggestions where to buy them cheap?
Thanks for your help everyone!
