Hey all. I need to replace my passenger side fog lamp bulb. I've never had to replace the bulbs before and it doesn't look like there's much room to easily get to the fog lamp. Can anyone tell me how to replace the bulb? Thanks in advance!

 

changing shouldnt be too bad. i just replaced both of mine this week. the bulbs should turn out just like the others. you can disconnect them before or after you take them out. then just replace with the new bulb and twist to lock it in. make sure you get the right one. for 2003, they used both the straight and the 90degree bulb. part #898 and 899. i had the 899 bulb in mine.
a set of small ramps would help in getting under the car if you have a splitter on the front. without the ramp it will be more difficult to work.
hope this helps

 

Thanks. Yeah I had to crawl under the car a bit to get in there but I got it changed. I noticed moisture in the lamp/lens assembly also, so someday I may have to remove the assembly and clean it up and re-seal it. That may be why the blown bulb was completely shattered lol.

 

quick question. is your bulbs staying in the housing? mine seem to be popping out, like they are not latching when you turn them. i stick them in and turn but seemed as if i didnt turn enough but i dont want to break them either. did this happen to you?

 

Mine stayed in fine. They did turn quite hard though. And what made it worse was my car is lowered so I had an even harder time twisting my arm under there to get a good grip on the bulbs' socket in order to properly twist it into place. Next time i'll use ramps

 

mine turned hard too. it seemed they couldnt go any father but for some reason when i went to check the wiring connection the bulbs would just pop out of the housing. i dont want to turn them any more and chance it busting them all up. ill check them again hopefully tomm.

 

Ok, i'm furious now. My other fog light bulb on the passenger side blew recently and now the drivers side is blown again. That's 3 bulbs in the last couple months and i'm sure it's due to moisture in the lamps. So now I need to remove the lamp assemblies, dry them and reseal them.
So, is there anyone who can tell me the best way to remove them? Please tell me I don't have to remove the front bumper. ANY help will be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

 

You don't have to take off the front bumper it's just 2 bolts on each side of the car that holds the brackets to the radiator core support
