Popping Fog Light Caps

It's a cloudy day here so the lord can't see me being dishonest typing instructions for getting fog light caps to pop off under warrenty. This is only for the older type fog lights. And yes the new ones have much better lighting for the side ditches. Which ever side you want to damage first,Turn that wheel sharply to the inside. Turn off the car. You will see a service pannel made in the front inside fenderwell. Push in on the clip and the complete pannel can be removed. Reach in and twist the lamp socket and the bulb and socket will come out freely. Take a new unsharpened pencil and insert the eraser end into the light and push. The cap will pop right off. Replace the bulb and socket then pannel. I don't think I would do both sides. Don't want the dealer to smell a rat. Good Luck. Been there,Done that!
