Default Damn fog lights

I have a 2000 trans am and both my fog lights went out at the same time. The only way I can see to change them is to take the whole front bumper off and I want to know if theres any way around that if not I guess I got some work to do

I can't recall exactly how I did it, but I was able to sqeeze in from the top. If your hands are too big for that, I believe you can remove the center section of the bottom nose piece?

Pull out the plastic retainers that hold the front bumper up that folds under the car and u can pull that down and get to them really easy. But u will probably need to buy some more plastic retainers too because u will probably break them. lol

There has to be a procedure to get those off without destroying them...

Personally I would be glad to have both go out, rather than one. It bugs me when one goes out and then not a week later another light goes (Blinkers) I hate driving with one light out.

Ah man, I just had this happen... very annoying. I ended up just replacing my turn signals and side markers all at the same time.

hey man, as suggested above..... go from underneath the car, take out the 4 plastic retaining clips and reach up from behind the light. It is a PIA but its the best way to do it.

X2, I know on the 1994-97 T/A it is possable to got from the bottem, what a buddie and I did was used a pair of needle nose plyers to pull the center part of the plastic pin enuff to reliece the 2nd half, careful not to pull the pin to hard, using plyers we wiggled and pulled the other half out, if you are careful enuff you can do it without messing them up, good luck
