Need to replace my fog lights

tbperry · 06-07-2011, 01:39 PM

Well, I want to make sure I can do this before I start ripping it apart, the manual said "Take it to the dealer" to replace the fog lights. So, I am coming to you guys to see if you have any tips first. I just want to replace one that is burnt out. Let me know how to do it, any tips etc.

For the '05 & '06 models, there should be 2 "pop-its" on the splash guard under the Fogs. Pull back the splash guard and you'll have access to the bulb. I find it easier to pull the whole housing out, by taking off the 2 bolts on the bottom of the housing (above the splash guard). Then take a small screwdriver and slide it in the slots on the front sides to pop them loose. Push the back of the housing straight out.

Yeah this is super easy. Great way for a beginner to get into the basics of vehicle disassembly because you can't mess this up. Just put the front of the car on ramps or a jack (you don't have to, but it'll make it a lot easier). Then follow what Dookie said.

...besides, you feel like more of a man when you successfully complete any vehicle part installation.
