if you open the hood, and reach your arm down in the gap behind the head light, you can feel around and grab hold of the foglight bulb. Just twist the bulb 90 degrees and it will come lose and pop right out. Disconnect the wire and replace the bulb, and put the bulb back in the housing. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

The easiest way to do this is to simply take out your headlight. With that out of the way, you can clearly see the bulb and don't have to worry about smashing your hand doing this.

Uh please don't read the 2 posts above..

This is very simply.

Under the nose of the car, under the fog lights you will see a cut out flap with 2 10mm screws. take the 2 screws out and and lower the flap. The bulb is right there. Simply turn and unplug the bulb then replace.

The cut out panel under the nose is there to access the fog bulbs.

thanks ya'll i appreciate it!....my car isnt lowered or doesnt have ground effects so i think the opening the little flap will be the easiest....actually i called around everywhere to find a replacement bulp for the foglight and guess who was the only one that knew what i was talking about??? GM! wow...man i hated buying it through them....anybody else know of a better place to buy em?? Napa didnt have a listing neither did Pep boys or Wal-mart... btw it was like 11 bucks at GM! <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

I just did this today, my car has the ground effects and I just took out my jack, jacked up the front end and layed my happy @$$ right under there and opened those flaps and replaced those bulbs. Use xenon gas filled bulbs #894. Its very, very easy to do. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

actually removing the headlight is a pain in the *** to put it back in. I can change my foglights in 2 minutes without unscrewing ANY bolts. So tell me which is easier. Unless you have a fat chubby arm you can fit your arm in there some way.
