stupid fog lamps ok first off i would like to appologize if this is in the wrong spot, but i wasnt sure where else to ask. my question is if there is an easy way to replace the fog lights, my driver's side just burned out, and its the second time its happened within the last 8 months or so. the first time it happened it was easy to replace cause it just so happened that i had the car in for the 50k service, so i just had the dealer fix it. the passenger side one has burned out twice, but that one seemed easier to replace, i had my dad help me and we some how managed to replace it. but the driver's side one is being a complete bitch and i wanted to know if there was an easier way to replace them, or am i gonna have to chew up my arm fixin it again. thanks.

FWIW I'd quit messing with the stock ones and get some lights that actually put out some light (instaed of the feeble glow of the stock ones)
If you really want to keep the stockers, go under the front of the car, and you'll find 4 button fasteners, take them out, and pull back the plastic, the back of the fogs will be staring you in the face.
That's the way I did my bulb replacement, didn't chew up my arm a bit

Another thing to consider while your there. I took them out and drilled holes in the bottom of my fog and running light so that the water that got in there could get out and that stopped the bulbs from burning out so far(done 3 years ago). I don't know how water keeps getting in there because the unit in somewhat sealed, my car garage kept, and doesn't see any rain.
