Help getting to the fog lights...

I searched, and searched and couldnt find anything.

Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to get to my fog light with out removing the bumper? I get charged $120 everytime i take it to the shop because they remove the whole bumper. One of my lights went out and the manufactuer said to reverse the bulbs to see if its the bulbs or ballast so they can replace. At the same time i plan on trying to hook up the harness i got.

you have to move the splash shield out of the way on the side you need the foglight from. then its gonna be some semi uncomfortable squirming your arm up into the bumper and you can grab the bulb and remove it.

but really, you ARE supposed to remove the bumper to mess with the foglights. its almost MORE of a pain in the *** to do it without.

Just learn how to remove the bumper yourself. It really isn't that hard.

I found it pretty straight forward to just remove the lower splash cover and change out the bulbs.

It takes like 5 minutes to remove the whole plastic shield underneath. It should take you about 10 minutes total to do the whole job. Just use a small flathead screwdriver to remove the front part of the shield, and you only need to really remove two more clips towards the back of the shield on the ends.
