Default Started installing my Vararam

and what a bit*h it is too. Got halfway done and had to quit until tommorow (lack of light). I can't seem to find the foglight bracket screw on the driver side (to remove the light), and I can't find the hole to line up the bracket to put the passenger fog light back IN. What a pain! Anyone else have a lot of trouble puttin this thing in??

Many say it is a bear to put in, but others state they had no problems. Good luck getting things back together.

First time took forever...second time took less than an hour.

The screw is very hard to get to. Get under the car and you'll find it...

The screws for the fog lamps were my biggest problem with the install. The fog lamp bracket has a lip or hanger at the 12 o'clock position. Insert this into the rectangular slot and the screw hole will automatically line up. It helps to have small hands. Not a lot of room in there.
Be patient and look forward to the end result. It made a major difference. The car now leaps forward like a caged animal! Enjoy!!!
