I just got new fog lights today because i was missing the passenger side forglight. Is there anyway i can get the old one off and the new ones on without pulling the whole bumber off? Are the bezels screwed in or bolted in?

If i have to take the front bumber off does anyone have pics of how to do it? Or could you give me the steps on how to do it? I know it whould only take a few minutes to do but i'd rather see it before i do it and screw it up

Thanks

I removed my fog lights a while back, to drill a couple of very small holes in the bottom of the light housings to deal with condensation (so far so good). I did not have to remove the bumper. As said in the link above, there are a few screws to remove. I wish I could remember exactly what I did then, but it was relatively easy.

I did not take my bumper off either. Jack up the front, get on the ground and you can see really well the screws that hold them on. The only tough one to get at was the top on I believe, you have to feel around a tad, not bad though.

thanks for the info.. I decided to go ahead and grow some and just start unbolting the front. It was one of the easiest things i've done lol. New lights are in and i didn't screw anything up.. now i can call it a day

It's much easier to remove the bumper. Besides, there's only a few screws to do so

Removing the front bumper is way more work than removing the fog lamps. Each side has 3 torx bit screws. One on the bottom and two you need to access from behind . It is somewhat blind, but very getable. And you need to have the exact length extension or you won't be able to turn the screw heads. I just recently removed mine to install an intercooler and I had them both out in under 20 minutes.
