Default Need Help w/ C6 Fog Lights....

I am looking for advice on how to convert the Fog Lights to Sylvannia ST's. How in the world to I get to them? My only guess would be from the back, through the wheel well? If there are other better ways to accomplish this, I would love the advice!

You can do that and take off the lower fascia bolts and all that black plastic. You can get at them from there. You do need to take the wheels off and pull out the push connectors in the wheel wells. Why would you bother changing them? The lights on the C6 are the one thing I would not complain about. Unless of course one is out...

Thanks for the advice! I was looking at the fog lights and they have a yellow glow to them, compared to the bright white light that the low and high beams give. I just want to replace the fog lights at the bottom.

Also, you can try the C6 corvette forum. There are numerous recent threads there about changing the fog lights.

Try a seach there, lots of good info. Some have posted there that Hoen makes a real nice fog light that works well for the C6's.

Well, I got um' replaced! The Sylvannia SilverStars look good! Lots better then the yellow glow the factory bulbs give out. I am a little concerned with the new bulbs though....when installing them on both sides, they didn't want to "turn and lock" like the old ones. They seemed to lock tight enough, I just hope they stay like that if I happen to hit some rough patches of road.
