Fog light removal HELP!
 
So my fog light went out...no biggie. So I unscewed the screw next to the actual light, and then the one under the bumper. Its wiggling, but it refuses to come out. Can anybody tell me if I'm forgetting to do something or what I need to do to get itcompletely out?

ae you just talking about the bulb?? If so you should just turn the plastic thing to the thing that holds the bulb to the left (or right im not sure), or the whole housing?

dannyb785 08-30-2005 06:49 PM

Well, i'd like to take the whole housing out. I just need ot change the bulb. whatever I need to do, to change the bulb, is what I want

should be super easy....you just twist the plastic thing...if you want a better idea of what to do, practice what your headlight, its almost exactly the same, but on a bigger scale, and you can see what your doing...I wouldnt try to take the housing out, becuase the only good way to do that is take your bumper off

So, how am I supposed to replace the bulb without taking the housing out?







and why dont u get aim so it makes this easier?

What year is your car? It should be a counter clokwise turn and a straight pull out. Should not be any need to pull the housing out. There is a rubber gasket on the top of ring of the bulb that may be sticking to the housing.
Good luck.

you dont have to take your bumper off. thats just dumb. in all there should be three screws that hold the housing onto the bumper. once you get those undone then push up on the tab that sticks down into the bumper it is either behind or infront of the screw that is underneath the bumper once you do that then it should just slide out. your pretty skinny so your arms shouldnt get to marked up from working by that radiator flap thing. that is from off the top of my head i havent touched or seen my mustang for a 110 days. but i am sure i am right about this removal

I followed you on most down the the strip under the bumper that u push up. I remmeber it, and I tried pushing it upward, but once it was up enough, I coudl never get a good enough grip to grab it out.
