Tools you will need
- 8 mm socket, extension, and ratchet
Parts and supplies
- Compatible fog-light assembly
Steps
Disconnect the fog lamps
Switch off the lights and ignition, then reach behind each fog lamp and release its wiring connector. Support the lamp so it does not hang from the harness.
Remove the old assemblies
Remove the three mounting screws from the back of each lamp. Withdraw each assembly from the bumper valance and compare its mounting points with the replacement.
Install the replacement lamps
Position each new lamp in the valance and start all screws by hand. Tighten them evenly to secure the housings, then reconnect the wiring plugs.
Test the lights
Turn on the fog lights and confirm both sides illuminate. Check that the lamps are firmly seated and the harnesses are clear of hot or moving parts.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
