Need help with removal of light assembly of my 05 Max... trying to change out fog bulbs! I blew one out. Thanks!

well,

you can either try to change the bulb out itself cause you can do it,

or, you will have to remove the bumper/ grill then the headlight to get to it.

how hard is it to replace...and do you have any pics or diagrams to show how to do it??

if you got big hands it will be a harder job vs someone that has small hands.

here is a diagram:

once you get to the retaining clip, it will be held down by a screw on one side, unclip the side opposite of that wich has no screw but a tab. you just move it upward to it releases it and it should move like a door hinge after that, then the bulb will come out.

NOTE:
do not loosen the screw

So finally, one of MY fogs have blown as well. Is the above procedure the same for changing out the fogs on a 2004 max? So all I have to do is remove the air filter housing and the fluid resevior and I should then gain access to the bulbs? By the way, the link for the diagram above is actually not working...
