fog lights
My car came with the fog lights, but they have long since burned out and i want to replace them. I want to put in different fog lights altogether, but i dont know what to get. I like the oval look, but i want fog lights the will just bolt in and plugin where i dont have to splice wires and stuff, but i dont know what kind to get, so if you have any suggestions please let me know and if not i would like to know how to replace the bulb cause i cant seem to figure it out. thank you

if i were you i wouldnt spend money on new foglights when i already have them. i have foglights on my 92 Z and i have replaced the bulb from inside one of the foglights. Just about any auto parts store carries the bulbs. when your installing a new bulb make sure you keep your fingers on the back plastic part of the bulb and dont touch the glass. Touching the glass funks it up i dont know why but i know it does funk it up.

The reason not to touch any halogen bulb is because your hands always have a little oil on them which will be transferred to the glass bulb. The oil or other residue on the glass will keep it from reaching its operating temperature or cause uneven heating of the bulb (not exactly sure).
In any event, if you do touch it, make sure you clean it thoroughly with alcohol. You could clean it with another solvent - TRICHLOROETHYLENE (available at hardware stores, "Sunnyside" sells it as "CARBO-SOL"). This is my favorite degreaser - I always use it on the metal surfaces before applying a gasket sealer. It is similar to brake cleaner, and is excellent for removing the adhesive from lables too, but be careful, it attacks some plastics. You could also use just plain old soap and water, just be sure there is no soap residue left on it.
