Hi guys,
I've searched to no avail for some kind of write-up on removing the foglights from my '96 Max... they're dirty and waterlogged so I want to clean and reseal them. I went underneath the car for a quick minute and it doesn't look too easy to get a wrench on the bolts. Does anyone have a link to a writeup or hints on how to get them out of there?

 

You don't need to go under the car. Take a flathead screwdriver and wedge it inbetween the top of the plastic trim piece and your bumper. Simply pry outward on it and the trim piece will pop out from the top and then you can just pull it off the foglight altogether.



Once that is removed, there is a single 10mm bolt holding the foglight housing to the bracket that holds it to the car. You can remove it using a phillips head screwdriver as well if it's loose enough, but I doubt yours is. With that removed, you can pull the foglight right out and unplug it from the back.

 

sweet that's easy!
Thanks very much I've got my project for today

 

Well the fogs came out easily enough, but now I can't get the lens to separate from the housing... Any ideas? I followed the baking instructions as per the headlights 250degrees for 15min but the suckers won't budge.

Am I missing something?

 

It is generally agreed that the only way to get the lenses off our factory fogs is to cut them off. The procedures for other lights do not work with them.

 

Well blech. I guess I'm stuck washing them out. Thanks for the info tho
