Fog Light Out...

techteacher · Apr 12, 2009

My passenger fog light has gone out...not sure of the life span, but that didn't seem to last very long (about 18 mos).

The manual says it has to be replaced by an authorized service center (a.k.a. probably spending a bunch of money on something I can do myself).

Questions...anyone replaced one of these yourself? Where did you get the bulb? Difficulty level?

Thanks!

Uses bulb 9145 and attached are the instructions from the service manual.

Remove the wheel to change a bulb?

Yup, unless you are gumby and can snake your hand down there from above.
You might be able to do it with just the wheel turned out.

Fog Lights

I replaced both of mine without removing any wheels and was able to reach down trough the engine compartment to do so. It was not the easiest thing to do, but it can be done with some patience and body contorting.

Its the same as changing the turn signal bulb. Simply turn your wheels in (depending on what side you are changing) and unscrew the 3 screws holding the wheel well liner on. Fold that back and you can easily reach in there and pop off the bulb.

We've found our grease man. :notworthy:

I was in the shop getting my oil changed and I over heard a discussion about replacing turn signal lamps. Apparently this lady's car is more screwed up than our Patriots when it comes to replacing the bulb. The mechanic told her it would take at least an hour :wow: to remove everything to get to it.

Was that a FULL service shop, or did you mean to say you were getting your Pat's oil changed? ;-)

I'd expect warrantee on a burnt out bulb on an 08. Worth a try at least!

...its a wear item though, so they might claim that

Reaching through the hood was the easiest solution. Took a couple minutes.

Thanks all!
