How are your lights Duncan?
After returning from a little jaunt on Sunday my fog light was hanging by its wire. I copied your example and fitted the same as yours from CBS. The black plastic surround had broken round the bolt holes :evil: . Maybe I had done them up too tight? Fitted a new one this evening on a dab of Sikaflex with the bolts looser. Fingers crossed!

I had a good look at them last night when I went to the Lotus 7 Club meeting after hearing about yours, and so far so good :roll:

When I fitted them, I actually bonded the black plastic parts to the rubber wedge I'd made with double sided number plate tape. The idea was to reinforce the join between the rubber blocks, but I may have unwittingly reinforced the plastic instead.

How flat is the surface you're mounting them too?

I think you should phone CBS, maybe they are a faulty batch, but you should at least get your money back as they failed that quickly. It's not like you're new to kitcars after all!

I think that tape was a lucky break :roll:
To be honest the rear tub where the light fix isnt that flat, the end of the fitting is partially round the corner. Ill see how this one holds up.
