how to replace foglight bulbs
I hate making threads like these cause im sure its somewhere on the forum, but i cant seem to find it.
I just need to know how exactly to get to the fogs, and how to replace the bulbs when i get to them etc.

actually changing the fog light is a *****. when u remove the lining underneath the car. there is a clip that u mus squeeze and raise up. den the light jus comes right out. but fitting back the light and returning the clip is a headache sometimes. i.e if you're lazy like me and dont wanna screw off the under tray

1. Jack up car.
2. Remove phillips head screw under outside fender, remove bottom most plastic retaining clip towards the front inside of the wheel well, remove 10mm bolt under car connecting engine undertray and fender undertray.
3. Gently bend plastic back towards wheel exposing fender space.
4. Unscrew black plastic cap on back of foglight assembly, similar to headlight assembly
5. Unclip pin inside housing holding light bulb and pull bulb out.
6. Disconnect light bulb by pulling connectors apart inside plastic crimp tube and remove threaded shroud from original bulb wires.
7. Install threaded shroud on new bulb wires, insert connector and connect inside plastic crimp tube.
8. Insert bulb back inside foglight housing (this is a pain, you may have to use both hands). Bulb only inserts one way. Make sure it is flush with housing and snuggly in place. Reclip pin holding foglight bulb in place. Reconnect black plastic cap.
9. Replace fender undertray and all bolts/clips.

Hi everyone:
I just replaced my foglight bulb with a new H3 Sylvania bulb. Nothing fancy, I just wanted it to match the other original bulb.
Most importantly....SPRAY SOME TYPE OF RUSTBUSTER ON THE 2 NUTS BEFORE YOU REMOVE THEM. THEY ARE RUSTED ON!! i SNAPPED ONE OF MY BOLTS BY NOT DOING THIS.
Enjoy!
Thanks
