Re: How do i change the Fog light bulb?

Okay, there's a right way and a wrong way to do this. One is MUCH MUCH MUCH easier, but you might get grubby prints on the bulb, EXTREMELY shortening it's life. The right way is to get under the nose, unbolt the plastic deflector panel, find the bolt that is actually the shaft of the fog light, unbolt it, pull it out the front, twist, remove bulb, replace bulb, twist back in, and rebolt.

The wrong way is see if you can jam your hand back there (maybe remove the grille) and if you can twist and remove the fog light, do it. Put the new one in, and try your damndest to not get fingerprints on the bulb while you squeeze it back there.

I just took my air filters out and reached down through the air box... a bit of a feel job but not too bad. Definitely wear a latex glove when you do it..... otherwise you'll be redoing it very soon.

Well that was fun.

I unbolted the air dam then took out the two bolt's that hold's the light in and pulled the whole housing out and swapped the buld.

But while i had it out i removed the light shield inside the housing, then i went ahead since it was just two more bolt's i pulled the other light and pulled it's shield out also.

I also found my fog light relay finally, it was behind the horn's inside the fender?

Odd location but i pulled it out where it's supposed to go and did the green wire mod to it.

Now as i bask it bright full time glow i say thanks for the tip's.
