Changing Fog Light Bulbs
Changing Fog Light Bulbs
I followed the procedure on housecor's site. Anyone else have trouble getting the H3 connector unhooked from the black plastic housing. I wiggled it back and forth...then tried two sets of pliers. One pulling on the H3 connector the other on the black plastic houseing...it would not come out.
Finally had to take the black plastic housing apart and bend the female end holding the H3 in place.

I changed my fogs yesterday and had trouble pulling out the white cord from the connector. I just pulled real hard and it popped out. I don't know if you can out them in upside down or if it makes a difference which way the go in?? Maybe that's why yours was so hard to pull out??
tek,
Not the bulb, but the connector.
crispy,
I pulled so hard the brass/copper fitting inside the black plastic housing came out the other end. It was still attached to the foglight connector.

someone has a brain...it's common sence....since you see the connector moves with the plug, you have to hold the connector in place while moving the plug
That person with a brain wouldn't be either one of you, I posted that in the first post:

yeah, my bulbs were pretty stuck in there, and i also couldnt get the connector off, so i just kinda gave up, and worked right on the bumper w/ the fog actually still connected to the car. I had to use 2 pairs of pliers as well to get the actual bulb, because every time i pulled, only the brass piece would come futher out...once thats done though, its cake. My first one took me probably about 15 min. and the other one took about 5 minutes total.

Regardless, try again or take it to the dealer if you are inept.
