Changing a fog light is easy right?!! ............WRONG!!!
@#$%^@#%&^@$%^!#%*&!@^%$&@%$

first i took out the wrong side, and i scratched up the body kit when i was reinstalling it..
then i go to take out the bolt, and it snaps in the bracket...
i have to remove the entire bracket to get to the broken bolt. THe bracket does not fit through the fog light hole i had to remove the bottom paneling to get it out.. gggrrrr
now i am trying to work the bolt out of the threads...
wd40 and a set of plyers will keep me company..
a 10 minute thing is turned into 2 hours.. grrrrrrrrr

One of my bolts siezed...I couldn't get it out with penetrating oil...tried to drill it....scratched (burned off is more like it) the paint on a spot my new front bumper with the drill....destroyed the bracket in the process....had to buy new bracket and bolts. Now I use anti-sieze...

I had the same thing happened to me when I was trying to remove my front bumper. Good thing there was a good bit left that I could grab it with a vise grip.
