Radar Detector Riding Fog Light?

js1099 · js1099's Garage

I noticed my passenger side fog light was aimed way low. There is a box strapped to the top of it, is this an after market item, like a radar detector? Removing it would help readjust the fog light, I plan on just cutting the wire to the unit. Also, has anyone had any luck readjusting the fog light with the horns in the way, or should I just remove the whole assembly and loosen the bolt off of the car? The bolt is very difficult to get leverage on with the horns in the way. Had a pic, but it wouldn't upload?!?!

Could be a laser diffuser. I actually have one that I've attached in the same spot. Don't cut wires - just trace them to the source and unplug, or cut them there. You can always resplice.

Looks like the F&R radar unit by Escort

Well, I followed your advice and it turned out to be a K40 Sonaradar SS1000, roughly 17 years old. It probably cost $1000 back then too. Anyway, the line was cut about 2 feet in, and I just pulled the thing out. Got the fog light adjusted upward too, by getting a socket in through the opening above the fog light and maneuvering below. Now, I don't look lopsided anymore. Thanks for the tip.
