Are you sure its the fog lights and not the side/indicator lenses that you mean.

The bit's directly below the headlights are sidelight units and would be easy to steal.

The foglights are at the bottom of the bumper and a pig to remove

Okay thanks Thomp.
It's 100% the fog lights. So I have no idea how they got them out.

If you go to imgur dot com and put /wgVANSO at the end you will see what I mean.

Your best bet is Ebay or MR2 breaking section on here, a pair will turn up eventually :thumleft:

Thabks for posting thomp

Here is a close look at the cables left.

Again goto imgur and end with /jWRBq8O
To see the image... yeah I been looking and looking. Lots of cheaper ones on eBay in America but I don't know how good they are.

Cheeky buggers. Cars get broken often enough here, a set will turn up soon enough.

The 2 x connectors means they are steering fog lights, you can either fit replacement steering ones or non-steering ones and just use the one connector.

It looks like they've been unscrewed which is quite impressive as the screws are usually rusted solid and need drilling out. When you fit the new fogs I'd clean out the threads and use stainless steel allen head bolts with a bit of copper grease on the thread.

Fogs

You could use internal hex SS Allen screws M5x20mm, or the same SS screws with a Hex head where an 8mm 1/4 drive socket will also just get behind the fog and have greater purchase.
