Fog Light Out...

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!

It was not the easiest thing to do, but it can be done with some patience and body contorting.:eek
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.

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.

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

Thanks all!
