foglight removal
I did a little searching but didn't find what I was looking for. Unless I missed it, is there a write up anywhere for removing the foglight housings in a 98 T/A.

Well, I had the day off and decided to tackle this project. Surprised that it went much smoother than I thought. Thought I would share how I removed the fogs. I first pulled the three pins out the hold the lower part of the bumper cover that leads to the radiator and then remove the black plastic piece that is attached to it. Removing the black piece gives you better access to the back of the fogs. Unplug the bulb and remove it, then unbolt the fog bracket. Once the whole assembly is loose, use one hand to pull on the bracket downwards. While doing this, use your other hand to push downwards on the bottom of the foglight recess in the bumper. Wiggle the fog assembly out gently between the bumper cover and the frame where the light mounts. It will come out with a little pressure and not get damaged. Just reverse the procedure to install. Get the new light started between the cover and the frame, and a little wiggling upward will get it in position. Once I figured this out on the first light, the second one was done in no time.

I know the trap door, since I recently went back to amber bulbs in the turns from clear bulbs. Unless I wasn't paying attention at the fogs, I didn't notice being able to get at them that way. Have to keep that in mind. Pulling those three pins under the center of the bumper cover was pretty easy too, since the black piece under there was held with the same pins plus two 10mm bolts, one on either side, and just slid out.
