Fog lights not stable

dakotanut · Mar 29, 2019

My fog lights bounce around while moving. Is there a fix for this? I dont see anything on them to tighten up to stop this.

I actually googled this same thing like a week ago. There is a few YouTube videos how to fix it. I use the term fix loosely. Basically there is a little nipple type piece on the light housing that goes into a hole in the mount and over time if wears a bigger hole. Guys have been putting a zip tie in the hole to make the space tighter. I haven’t done this yet but might try it soon.

This happened to me too. I used a zip tie through the back of it to secure it to the mount. If you get under there and wobble it by hand, you'll see which parts move and which parts don't. It took me a bit to figure out where to run the zip ties, but I got it worked out. Works great and a cheap fix. I read some thread about it where the mount starts to wear out and opens up, making it wobble.

I did this this to mine and it got rid of the bouncing. Nice thing with the tie wrap is you can still adjust the aim of the lights. I was going to epoxy the pieces together but didn't want to lose the ability to aim them when I put LED's in them.

Aftermarket oe replacements are pretty cheap.

That's what I was thinking. Lol. But a different way. Or melt plastic from work on it.

CALL FCA!!! There is a NEW and improved fog light housing out, the old one was plastic, the new one is all steel and works MUCH BETTER! ;-)

Mine been bouncing for awhile and I just bought oem replacements and they updated the bracket to a better design.

Mine were doing that.just bought a replacement set off of Amazon, swapped them out, an no issues. Less than $75 if I remember correctly.

These are the part numbers I ordered and got the redesigned fog lights. When I go home for lunch I'll take a picture of what they look like after the update.

i drilled the holes in the bracket assembly out to be larger. inserted a rubber grommet, replaced light and no movement. worked great.

One of mine had some deterioration of the mirrored surface, as well. New lights, nice and shiny, and no wobble. No issues at all, and still look great 2 months later.
