Re: Changing fog lights or fog light bulbs

You only need to replace the bulbs.

There are two plastic pins that hold the light assembly into the bracket. A long small flat head screw driver can get under the pin head to pull them out. The problem is getting them back in.

Re: Changing fog lights or fog light bulbs

I guess you are talking about a 93-97 camaro??

94_z28_guy is pretty much right...undo the torx adjustment screw and the two plastic push pins that hold them in...

I removed my windsheild washer fluid resivior last summer...MAN, they are REALLY easy to change now. Don't have to remove the light at all

Re: Changing fog lights or fog light bulbs

Goddamn, I hate to rehash an old thread but I'm in the middle of changing my bulb and just did a search on it because it was killing me. I removed the bottom air damn piece, the whole right plastic piece and I'm trying to take the rivets out. This is killing me!

I'm going to go try those two push pins now. I wish I would've searched first

How easy is it to remove the reservoir? My car's previous owner hit a deer, and while the body/paint work was done right, the driver's side fog light was left pushed up tight by the center plastic (so I don't think it's possible to pull the pin on one side... and, of course, that's the bulb that's not working).

Re: Changing fog lights or fog light bulbs

The easier way would have been pulling the three push pins underneather the front clip, pull that down and reach up in there and pull the bulbs, take 5 to 10 min, alot easier than screwing with the removal of the actual lamp

Re: Changing fog lights or fog light bulbs

I would think so, they are in the same area as the 93-97 camaro fog lamps

Re: Changing fog lights or fog light bulbs

This site ROCKS..

I just replaced my driver side fog bulb..

When I first looked at it I just sat and stared... "how they H*!! do you get this thing out?"..

When I read this thread and realized that the side screws were just plastic pins... ah ha..

Thanks
