Replacing the factory Fog Lights?

[stroncl]

I have some aftermarket fog lights im am trying to replace my worn-out stock ones. What is the best way to install them? I looks as though they are installed from behind the bumper but im not comfortable removing the entire front panel just to replace them. Is there an easier way that im over looking?

I am having the same problem,just got a set of 9006 Silverstar Ultra and put them on tonite.Not impressed at all,they look a bit brighter,however,yellowish jsut like the OEM ones.

So,right now thinking about getting some very very white ones for the fog light so I can turn them on at nite to compensate a bit of the yellow color.I am going to get some H10/9145 white bulbs tomorrow but I don't know how to put them on,have to take the whole front off? Any other easier way to just replace the bulb? Thanx guys!~

Yes, to access the fog lights, remove the splash panel underneath that's connected to the front cover and the inner fender wells. You first remove the cover that's under the oil pan...4 10mm bolts. Then remove the panel infront of it. Its attached to the front cover with several small bolts and a couple of push pins to the inner fender covers if memory serves me right.

Thanks for the tip... i think i get it. I just remove the hard plastic splash guard and work from underneath the car instead of removing the front panel?

Are the push pins reusable? Or will they not hold good after you take them out and try to put them back in?

Guys, please don't let this sound any harder than this. I just swapped in another set of aftermarket ones this morning. Read on and rest easy.

First, turn the wheel all the way to the right. Go to the driver's side wheel well and remove the tabs holding the liner to the metal fender. You'll need to remove four total pins. They can be reused if you don't manhandle them too much...otherwise forget it. You'll need to replace them. After removing the plastic pushpin tabs, seperate the plastic liner so you can get you hand behind the light housing. The back of the bulb and the plug harnesses are easily seen and reached. Pull out one bulb, put in the new one and replace the plastic pins. Repeat the other side the same way but turn the wheels all the way to the left this time. I replaced both in less than ten minutes. Have at it!

This is exactly how i did it today. I had a little trouble mounting the aftermarket fogs but all in all it wasnt too bad. I'll put some pics of the finished process tomorrow. Thanks for the help!
