how do you take out fog lights

how do you take out fog lights in a 4th gen?

do you just use a flat head and pop them out and disconnect the wire? or are there screws somewhere i need to unscrew?

Should be in your owners manual. I have a 95, so my method won't work, maybe it's the same concept, but I don't know.

Pop off piece of plastic, loosen bolt, and from there on, it's up to you.

on the front of the fogs there is a rectangle piece taht you pry upwards on and it will come out. then there is a 10mm bolt that you take out and the fogs come right out.

yeah, i tried takin my 95 ones out with a philips, i stripped the screw, then i thought about drilling it out....right when i was about to do it, i had second thoughts, then i went out and bought a socket extension, and used a 11mm....(i may have used the wrong one, A32Matt said its a 10mm) but anyway...i got it out, but...this doesnt apply to a 97 and i duno why i posted this......

This is how a lot of us learned, takes less time and is less confusing.
