Default Re: Replacing Fog lights assembly

One of mine was hit by a rock and broke the thick glass lens. Not covered by warranty, so I ordered two new ones so they would match.

Had no problem replacing them... just don't follow the service manual.

Use the small access door inside the fender well and you can reach all three of the allen screws. Then just remove the assembly through the little access door. Easy way is to remove the front wheel and have it turned out (i.e.- turn the wheel to full lock toward the side of the car you are working on).

I'm not sure why the service manual wants you to disassemble part of the front of the car when the access door leaves plenty of room with the front wheel off. I suspect it was because they don't want the hassle of having a customer come back to 'retorque' the lug bolts after 50 and 100 miles.

Hope that helps... Cheers!
