Hey there, I got replacement H3s for my fog light that burned out and I am trying to install them myself. I noticed my Haynes manual does not have a section explaining how to remove them, and I also noticed tonight that there were 4 phillips-head screws apparently holding up the lamp (2 were holding up a piece of metal, two were connecting the metal to the foglight assembly, if I said that right).

Are there any how-tos out there? I checked the DIY forum and scrolled through about 4 to 5 pages worth of posts, didn't find a tutorial for replacing USDM fogs.

I am probably lazy, so I will keep looking. :grin: Later!

as far as i remember all you had to do is get under your car and twist the cap on the fog off then remove the clamp that holds light bulb, take out bulb put new one in reconnect all wires and replace the cap and fender lining if it has to be removed ( i cant remember for sure its been like a year or two since i did it, i remember it wasnt comfortable to get to) GL

If you are talkin about replacing the bulb.. its super simple and should take you like 5 minutes. Just unscrew the 2 bolts that are holding the bracket on (2 bolts on my car :lol: ) and then just pull them out slowly. You might have to wiggle them around a bit. Once you have the assembly out of the bumper, then you can just turn it around and pull the bulbs out!

or.. you can just download the PDF i put up for you! :grin:
