Fog Lights

Does anyone else here hate them as much as I do? Something so small gave me such grate aggravation for the past hour or so. Got em out fine but the complete lack of vision made putting them back in a b****. And when I did get them back in I didn’t really feel like they were tight in there...I mean they weren’t hanging in there but there was no solid 'click' when I turned them and I was afraid to twist any harder as I broke one yesterday trying to put it in....

Usually there are 2 posts sticking out of the bulb, and one is further down the side than the other. You are going to have to LOOK inside of the connection and see which pattern is in there. Then put a small amount of grease on the bulb and press it in (to match the pattern IN the socket). Once you press it in, turn it in the direction(usually clockwise)of the socket until you feel it stop. That should do it. If all else fails, DON'T DRIVE IN THE FOG!

ive become a pro at removing the whole housing theres 2 little pop out clips, one on each side, and the main screw thats used to adjust the light. you gotta be careful and use some needle nose pliers and a small screw driver but it gets easier everytime
