Help Replacing Fog Lamp

Has anyone had to change out one of the fog lamp bulbs???? Bought mine in Sept. and I already have one burnt out. I'm just wondering if it is a pretty cut and dry job. Any advice you can lend is appreciated......suppose I'll get back to work now (damn job).

Yes- it's fairly easy... I used this for some guidance:

Yeah it's easy just follow my pics. I have allready helped 2 other friends do it. You don't have to lift the car just turm the wheel all the way to the right to do the driver side and vise versa for the passanger. Where gloves so you don;t touch the bulbs.

BTW, not sure if you got your replacement bulb yet, but I upgraded mine to HID-look (blue-ish white) to match my HID headlights... 2 for $35. They're brighter and look better... might be worth while since you have to buy a new one (assuming you have the HID headlights).

I changed mine after one nokya bulb blew after a year -- what a pain to change the driver side

when I did it the plug was all wet
that is why it exploded

That is pretty much the same thing that happened to mine. I noticed a lot of condensation. I do have the Xenon headlights and i think that would look cool w/ the matching fog lamps. Are those bulbs pretty easy to find? (ex. ace, home depot, or whatever)
