How to replace fog lamp?
Can i get in from the bottom to replace the right fog lamp. It cracked really bad. Got a new one from the dealer for $25 canadian.
Does the plastic come off from the bottom so i can have access to the fog lamp. Thanks..

Might want to raise the front of the car for MORE room.

Hi IceMan
I was trying to replace both fog lights with brighter/whiter Phillips bulbs and could only do it on the one side (the passenger one)
have no idea either how to do it on the other side.
Help would be appreciated.

Yes just turn the wheel facing out and remove the screws and pull out the front wheel well cover. But you might need to jack up the car because you also need to remove the 4 front screws on the belly pan and somehow loosen the two 8mm screws holding the lamp from below.

Re: How to replace fog lamp?

i wonder if dealer or europe sells clear foglight lenses...
don't wanna pay 150-200 for the whole foglight kit since i rarely use foglights and just wanna keep clear look...
