Default Re: Fog light fix - loose caps
I found this thread after completing this procedure on my 2004
I must say that this is the exact procedure I followed originally posted here by ACRucrazy


Although my caps on my 04 were still securely attached I removed them to produce a bit more light.
They are now the same as the replacement lights without caps that were manufactured and installed on the later model Crossfires.
I removed the lights from the car by first removing the front wheels to access them more easily.
There is a small door in the front of each wheel well that can be removed to access the fog light assembly.
There are 3 torx screws that hold the light assembly in the bumper and they can easily be removed.
Once the assembly is off the car you can partially separate the bulb fixture from the housing by carefully prying away the 2 tabs that are fitted around the 2 pins.
Pay attention to the rubber o-ring and the position it is in as you will need to place this back tightly during reassembly
Then simply twist the steel caps until they break off.
Then reassemble the light and carefully push the rubber o-ring back into place and reinstall on your car.
Be careful to not touch the light bulb with your fingers.
