I've got one of my fog lights out. Messed around with it today with no success, can't seem to get the housing open. These fog lights are on the bumper in between the headlights...not in the molding. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |

I guess my question is, how do I get to the bulb? |

If you grab the fog light assembly in one hand, the wiring base (where the bulb plugs into) and turn it, it will seperate. You can change the bulb with out removing the whole light. It will seem as if you are going to turn it so hard that you will break it, but you won't. |

Are you sure? I tried, pretty good in fact...any harder and I would break it; there is a torx screw on the backside of the light (I'm assuming securing it to the bumper), some kind of hinge (it looks like) underneath the light and then three torx screws (screws are at 12, 4, and 8 o'clock) on the back of the lamp housing. Are we talking about the same fog light? Before I tried to unscrew the torx securing it to the bumper thinking that would release the lamp and possibly lay the hinge down... but of course that didn't work. I wish I knew how to put pics on here, but this is the first time I've posted anything. |

I was using a screwdriver when I really should have been using a socket wrench. Couldn't put enough force behind the screwdriver. The torx screw on the backside released it from the bumper like I thought. |
