How to: Change Fog Light bulb

[MTZL]

First of all I got to thank Wutangmo15 for his laziness to install the yellow fog lights & giving them to me to install.. I figure you guys would appreciate the simple How to:

You will need a Phillip screw driver. Which is looks like "+" sign at the tip.
Flat head screw driver will do you no good.

Here are the fog light bulbs
Nokya Hyper Yellow NOK7618
Pro Halogen
2500k_55w
Stage1 Stock Wattage
H11


Go to the front of your RA.
There is(was) a philip screw where the red circle is. Remove the screw.
Once the screw is removed, Pop the cover off gently pull away from the bumper. The rest is held together by plastic tabs. Follow the direction of the arrows. This part is a bit tricky. Be careful you dont break it. Easy does it. Take it slow & be firm it should pop off.


Pay close attention to the corner tab, it should be pulled straight out.



There are three philip screws small circles in red. Remove them. To remove the fog light housing.
Red boxes are the tab holes for the cover.
The bigger red circle is for the screw that hold the cover in place.

Driver side.




Once the three screws are removed for the fog light housing should come right out, pull it out enough to expose the plug connector.


I spent more time than I needed to figuring out how to remove the plug..
Press the release tab in red circle with green fill. Gently & firmly wiggle the plug make sure you have the fog light housing secured so you dont chuck it away while trying to remove the plug.

Turn the fog light bulb a quarter turn in direction of the red arrow to release the bulb from fog light housing. Pull bulb straight out.



Fog light blub comparison. Do not touch the bulb. Handle the bulb from the connector. (plastic base).
