Can you remove the foglight housing from a trans am without removing the bumper?? Just like the title say. Can you remove the foglight housing from a trans am without removing the bumper?? One of mine went out and when I went to replace it I couldn't get it to stay in and I ended up bending the metal so now I can't even get it in. So my plan is to remove it and manage to put it in where I can like actually see what im doing.I removed the two bolts that hold it in with no luck.
Thanks
Thanks

If your 99' is like a 93-97 then yes.
If you go under your car bumper there should be 3-4 black push pin's you have to remove to reveal a plastic panel that will give you access to your fog lights.
If there is a body change with those years then I am not sure.

you can, but be prepared to do some muscling of your front bumper. I think its just easier to remove the front clip. Takes 10 minutes. Better than almost certainly scratching your paint.

yeah thats what I thought I had it loose from the body but couldn't get it out so I just gave up bc it was getting dark and I have been DD'ing still. So removing the front cover isn't that hard??

Turn the head lights on to open, then you can easely fit your hand through and reach the foglight housing thats all my friend. The only thing I can tell you is that I a guy with big hands and I have done cople time with not problems at all. Well Good luck to you, if you have already fixed it this could provably helps someone else. Thanks
