Replacing dull sandblasted stock fog lights with new hotness.

Installing new fog light units can be a pain if you dont know how to remove them. There are 6 clips and they are small and make it difficult to remove them.

Remove your headlight assemblies, its not neccesssary to remove the black brackets but there are only 4 bolts and it helps to get it out of the way. Be careful of the ambient temp sensor and wire harness.

Next remove all the screws with torx bits on a screw driver, they are easily remvoed and took a whole minute to remove. One at the top from the front of the bumper and two at the bottom of the light from inside the bumper. Assorted torx bits will be needed.

Looking down inside the bumper there is now these clips, using two flat head (small) screwdrivers start uncliping them from the top and work your way down. They will come out, you will have to feel fro them from the front to the back.

new vs old and busted. You can see how clear the new ones are. They are 30 bucks each online shipped from ebay. Excellent quality.

OLD VS NEW. Use whatever bulbs you want, I chose the ones it came with. They work like new stock and are very white concerning Kelvin (bulb temp).

thanks for the info dude looks good!

CORRECTION:

I stated above to use different bulbs cause I thought these bulbs that came with the new lights from ebay were cheap. They are not, they are very white and very bright on the road. So use the bulbs that come with the units. They not only are free but very bright. Keep your others for backups unless they are HID or something superior to these.

said link for the new foglights? Mine look terrible!

I'm doing mine right now. Got them at rock auto for 25.79 each. TYC part 19582100 ({#15162675, GM2592149} Includes Bulb & Socket)

hey i'm pretty new to the do-it-yourself scene and really don't wanna screw this up. is it possible to post one more picture to better illuminate these infamous 6 small clips?

Mine are shot to hell. Have to do them one day..... way too lazy tho right now

Mine still look new, and there like 4 years old off ebay! lol

I forgot all about this, my fogs and low beams are brighter together than my high beams. I rarely use the high beams.

And right when I am considering doing this, I find the pics no longer work.

Just my luck. I'll probably just wing it. I doubt it's too complex.
