Illuminating Question?

Post by topbanana » Mon Jan 27, 2014 9:36 pm

Our 2002 Aero has a broken lens on the front passenger fog light, Mazda part number is 51-6A0.

They seem to be available in the US or Russia for a hideous amount of money, however the Mazda Tribute seems to have an almost identical unit (looking at the images from the parts manual), but the part number is different.

There are lots of them for sale on Ebay, for example the one below.

Have any Aero owners, fitted one of these, is it the same? Is the lens the same diameter,Or are there any other solutions out there for this problem?

Any help appreciated :-)

Certainly looks similar, although I've no idea if it will fit. You could take a punt on it and you have 14 days to send it back, so worst case it will cost you the return postage.

Hmmm. could do, that's a great idea!

I'll give it a try, if it works, I'll let peeps know, there's bound to be a few more needing one.

Thanks Simon.
