I have a 2011 Skoda Octavia MkII 1Z5, which failed inspection due to lack of adjustability of the fog lights/loose fog lights. The workshop has estimated a price for replacing the fog lights, but I now see that the lights are OK, the plastic clips are intact. I suspect that someone has broken the plastic fastener/bracket/ mount that should sit in the front bumper, when changing light bulbs, on BOTH sides. The reason why the lights did not fall out is called glue (!)

 

I would prefer not to change the entire front bumper, and would like to make a mount myself, with e.g. 3D print or thin steel plate, which can be screwed into the plastic.

 

Are there any generous souls here who can provide photos of intact light mounts, and preferably some measurements? Attached is pictures of the bracket area.

 

I am happy to contribute with more info, pictures etc.

 

OEM number for the light is 1Z0.941.702.C/  1Z0.941.700.C

I have a complete bumper from a 2008 but preFL Octy.  I'll take a look at it on Wednesday and see if there's anything than can help you.  I've had a look at the parts catalogue but it's not showing anything helpful.  Link HERE if you want to take a look.

Thanks Mike, I found the bumper here, but would rather need a 3D model to get measurements.

 

For anyone hecitating to dismount the fog light on a similar Octavia, this video shows how easy it is.

I'll add that based on YT video, it would seem like the pre-facelift model fog light is actually screwed on. Lot less potential to screw up 

After quite a bit of pondering, I stuck my cell phone inside the bumper, while the fog light was in place, and took a photo. What the photo shows, is that the edge of the clip just barely does not "click" in place, over the edge of the bumper material. I wound up just screwing in a screw with a conic head, directly on the clip, which actually locked the light in place.

 

So my "broken bumber" hypothesis was just bonkers, pardon for that. 

 

Part of the story is that I had to order one new light, since the adjustment mechanism plastic parts was broken on several places. It remains to see if the new light locks in place, without any tricks.
