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..

You Can Access the Fog light from The Lower panel..Then remove the Three Bolts that secure the Fog Light to the bumper Un Plug it and Lower it down to replace the broken lens....

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.

On the drivers side, turn the wheels all the way to the left. Remove the three 10mm nuts and 1 clip in the inner fender well. Remove the three clips under the fog. You can now move the liner out of the way to get to the fog light. You can do this without jacking up the car if your car is not dropped.

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?

what kind of foglight lens did u get from the dealer?
clear or frosted?
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...
