Is it difficult to change the fog lamp bulb. From lookin under the car i cant seem to see where you can get to it. Thanks in advance............

Wow, this is about the 4th post I've seen on fogs being out.

Easy to change, raise the hood, raise the headlamps, turn on the fogs, look under the headlamps, you'll see exactly where they are located. Turn off the fogs, and twist them out of the fog assembly, plug in your new bulbs. They are halogen, so take care not to touch the glass.

Yes. If you don't have a lift or jack, it's a REAL pain. I just did it last week.

You have to take off the rubber air dam for that side, there's maybe four nuts to remove, then you have to take off a plastic close-off panel, maybe another six nuts there.

The real problem is those nuts are all hard to get out and get back in, they don't turn well, and for some reason my ratchet doesn't "click" backwards on them, they turn with it. Must be the angle to get to them with so little clearance from the ground with no jacking, or they're dirty and so they stick.

Anyway, get those two pieces removed, then you feel up under there, find the corrugated brake duct. Reach to the inside side of it, (engine side) and feel up, the fog light bulb is there. Give the plastic housing a quarter-turn and it will release. You then have to pull the bulb out, replace, and reverse.

The other hard part about this is that you're doing this blind, you can't get under there to see, again, unless you jack it up.

The manual says to remove the brake duct, don't bother, that doesn't help any and it's a real pain to put back.

Took me about an hour to do the second one, the first one took more like an hour and a half since I didn't know the routine.

Go in thru the hood, you'll save yourself a ton of time.
