Could someone explain the best way to get the clips in that hold the fog light together. Pictures would help a bunch too. thanks Jack

The fog light clips (those angled metal rods that hold the reflector onto the ring) are a pain & frustrating for the first 15 minutes. I've always had trouble with 'em and have found it takes patience & technique. The clips have a long piece and a shorter angled piece. Turn the fog light upside-down with the lens on the reflector and the chrome ring over the lens. Place the angled piece of the clip into the space between the ring & reflector. Carefully push the long piece into the space until it clips into the ring. I needs to bend just a bit and then will snap into place. Hold the fog light components together as you install the second clip in the opposite space to the first clip (for balance). I think it takes 4 clips per fog light.

Euro-style headlights also have clips but they are longer than the fog light clips. And, yes, they are unique to T34s. Rolling Eyes
