really need your help on this one......
Ok Guys, heres the deal, I bought a used Vararam intake from someone on here and it seems when they took it off they pulled off the fog light housing inlets from the ducts.
I have the open ones on my car now and could use those or what they sent me but I need to know what kind of tool you use on those little connectors on the vararam ducts? Any way for me to fix this and be able to use it? Any advice would help thanks!

Guess you didn't see a picture before buying? Anyway, It sounds fixable if you're wanting to attempt that yourself. It needs to end up looking like this.
If it's only missing the fog light shrouds you can take yours off, modify them and rivet them to the ram ducts. It might be easier to mount the ducts and bridge and mark the shrouds while still on the fascia. The tricky part would be getting the alignment/angle of the shrouds to the ducts correct. Some trial fitting will be in order and it will be a bit of a pain.
Here's a pic of one of my shrouds with silicone I applied for a better seal.
The finished assembly.
Best of luck.

yeah, I didn't get the dog either!
j/k. Thank you for the advice. I do have them, they were just pulled off is what I am saying. How do I put them back or well my others together with the rivets? What opens the rivets?

Since you have the original shrouds, just temporarily reattach them to the ducts with tape usung the original rivets and holes as a guide, drill new holes through both pieces near the original holes and install rivets. You can get a cheap rivet gun and rivets at Lowe's or HD.
