Default How Do you Change the Fog Lamp Bulbs?

Holy crap, could GM make it any harder?!?! You have to either take out the entire headlight assembly or unscrew the bottom of the car?!?! This is a pain in the ***, anyone know a way around this?

yea! Pop the hood and look down by the headlamp header. If you look further down to where the fog lights are you should see the harness going to the fog light. Stick your arm in till you feel the harness at the foglight. Turn the light out counterclockwise just like the headlights and pull the bulb out. The trick in it is lining up the lock tabs on the new bulb going back in. It's not too bad if you have a sense of touch. This is the way i change them on my car. Also noticed the right side keeps blowing because the weather pack around the connector lets water in. I use the same method on Pontiac f-bods, just they are a little tighter.

Meh, takes me about 5 mins to do everything. All I did was jack up the car and remove 2 screws on each side, and take off the little flap. I don't think GM made changing bulbs hard at all.

Well, it may be easy for you, but when I did what MadIceV8 did, my bulb staid in the actual lamp while the bulb assembly came out without a hitch. I'm just going to get new lamps under warranty, then change them.

Good luck with that light housing becaus there is a screw on the outside that must be unscrewed and that ws my downfall, so luck to ya.
