I started the install of the Osram combined LED DRL and FOG lights. I will borrow some photos from the German A2 forum.
This is the Lights:
My first idea was to keep the Foglight glass and place the new light behind it. When I examined the front glass I realized that the glass was so blasted that it was not an option. If my fog lights been in perfect condition I would have chosen this way as it looks better.
The simplest way is to it the same way as A2-D2 on the A2 freunde forum (A2FF) with is to use the old Fog light housing as a frame.
1)Remove the reflector insert.
2)Removing the front glass. I placed the fog light in the oven at 120 degree C to soften up the rubber compound. Then I step by step expanded the gap between the glass and housing. A thin knife is handy to cut the compound. I had to repeat the whole procedure 3 times. Be careful for glass chips when you bend.
3)I expanded the hole a few mm using a Hole saw with the diameter of 89-90 mm . Real easy job.
4)Then it is only to mount the new light in it.
The only thing left is alignment that will be done after wiring.
