Fog light replacement

[mity2]

My OEM fog light assembly took chit few weeks ago(you see the line in middle? that an ice inside. kept blowing bulbs..), So I decided to get euro clear fog light assembly off of E-bay.
Lights came in yeasterday, so I figure I'll put them in.

What the pain in the Azz!!!! It is almost impossible to take housing off from bumper unless you have eye ball in tip of your fingers!! It took me about 2 hours to get the sucker off, then disassemble it, and put the new one on to housing(Euro lights and OEM housing) , and took me even longer 3 hours to put the POS back on the car!!!!!!! It was just misrable task(especialy in the 20F weather in the snow covered driveway.....


And I don't think it is that much blighter. in the 3rd pic, you can see both OEM and Euro lights side by side

mine -definately- made a huge difference
it wasn't that hard after i found the damn things
took about 30-45, but i had to make a trip back up to the 13th floor and post here cuz i couldn't figure out where the bolts were
lol

Remove the front bumper.. It makes life easier
To late for me to say that but might help somone else..

Why would you have to remove the bumper for just changing out the fog light assembly? This doesn't make sense. I always thought that if you put the car up on the lift you could have easy access to the fog light assembly to do the transition. you had a hard time changing the fog light assembly because you did not do the work while the car was on a lift. Oh well.

I've removed mine several times and never had a problem. I just put it on ramps so I could see what I was doing. But I wasn't in 20 degree weather either...brrrr

 

[MPSnyper]

Well if it even took me 1 hour.. to just get the fogs out ida ripped the bumper off..
and them 3 hour to put them back on...

 

[Ron Jeremy]

You don't need to rip off the bumper. Just put the car up on a lift and do the work.

i crawled under the car, no ramps or anything

Of the three bolts(1 bottom, 2 top), one towrd inside(near Steel Bumper core) was the one kicked my azz. Narrow space, and bolts go on pretty deep, and I just could not get the bolt to go in to the hole. I had a 2 bolts on it already, so even if I left that last bolt, it moslt likey held the lights in.
But its in now. hopefuly i don't have to do this again anytime soon

oh its great. It is brighter then OEM one for sure. Just Not as brighter as I wanted to be. May be wattege(37.5watts) just isn't bright at all. I'll get higher wattage, Blue one sometime soon, and see if it is good or not.
