In Reply to: Anyone know how to get to the foglight bulb? posted by Tim W. on November 25, 2000 at 11:15:15:

I can't post a picture at the moment, as I'm on the opposite coast for Thanksgiving. However:
Step 1: clean the area around the foglamp assembly & airdam with damp cloth to avoid scratches.
Step 2: Grip the plastic housing around the foglamp and pull with a bias to the outside. The plastic blank around the foglamp will pop out of the airdam.
Step 3: unscrew the foglamp assembly (1 philips head screw, if memory serves)
Step 4: Unplug the wires to the foglamp, and then remove the bulb. Replace with the new bulb. Do not touch the glass part of the bulb, and if you do, clean it with rubbing alcohol.
Step 5: Reconnect wires to new bulb, screw lamp assembly back into airdam.
Step 6: Carefully push plastic blank back into place around foglamp. Test light.

NB: the screw which is accessable from the outside *through* the black plastic blank is NOT for installing/removing the foglamp. It is instead for adjusting the foglamp aim. Treat it with care -- it's plastic, and is easy to ruin.

Cheers,
Ben
