27966, Easy question -- replacing fod light bulbs
Posted by JasonESi_T, Aug-01-02 11:35 AM
Right now Im attempting to replace my stock fog light bulbs with new hyper-white bulbs. Im sure this will be an easy answer...how do I take the old bulb out and put the new one in, what screws do I remove?

Just replace the whole foglight housings with some new, cool foglights. That's what I had to do, cuz one of my lenses was completely shattered. Here's what I got:



Black '98 GS auto
I-vers intake
Custom (home made!) ram air conversion
OBX fog lights
RSR rear section straight outta Japan
JVC cd player
Kenwood components
Sony XM-250 amp
10" Polk DX sub

What kind of lights did you replace them with? Were they fairly simple to mount or did you have to do some fabrications?

They're OBX fogs. I don't remember what type though. They are about 3 or 4 inches rond with a blue lens. I would get 5 or 6 inch round fogs if I had to do it again though.
I just unbolted the old fogs, and used the existing screw holes. In fact, they are only held on by one screw apeice! Then I just cut the wiring harness off, and used the factory wiring for power. They are sunken in a little bit from the bumper though and would look nicer if they were flush with it, and also I couldn't reuse the old bezel that went around the factory fogs. I think it looks better though.
