How do I change my side marker bulb?

How?! I was looking in my Chilton book, and it says I need to take off my front bumper?! What in the world? You gotta be kidding right? If so, how the hek do I take off the front bumper then? All I see is these little clips thingies, and I don't want to break them off. Anyone please? Thanks in advance..

nope, you don't have to take off the bumper at all. You just need to go from the bottom of the car. Take off the air dam in the front and then take off the panels to the left and right of that panel. After you get those off, you'll be able to reach up and get to the side markers. You don't even have to take the lenses off, you can just twist it to change the bulbs.

Gah, one of my fog lights just went out. How would I come about to change that? Do it from behind like the side markers?

You don't need to take off the airdam to change side marker bulbs. The plastic panels to the left and right will pull out when the bolts are removed.

I've had to change both side markers and fogs before...If I remember right, you can actually unscrew the fog light from the front of the car and it's an easy change, but you have to re-adjust it after.

My first time changing a fog bulb i actually did it through the engine compartment and reached underneath. Yep...my arm was black and blue for a week!
