#81691, "'99 Eclipse H-3 bulb replacment for road lights..."
i searched, but couldn't find what i was looking for. i was wondering if there was a write up for changing the stock road light bulbs for a '99 GS. i jacked my car up one day to take a look (when it was much warmer and i had a garage), and couldn't see how to crack/unscrew the roadlight housings. anyone have a write up how to change the lights, or a little advice? TIA!

You have to unbolt the fog light unit from the bracket. I think there's two screws on one side of the projector. After you take off the light unit, you can remove its back panel with just a few screws. After that its just a clip that holds in the bulb. Good luck!
She's been sold My best friend bought her though, so she's still in good hands.

Unbolting the foglights are kind of a PITA. i recently found that if you jack up your car, you can get to the 3 screws on the bottom of the drivers side foglight. This might be difficult to imagine if you haven't changed it out before, but after fiddling you will see what i am talking about. For the Passenger side, if you cannot get to the 3 screws, it is much easier to take out. Use a socket to take out the 2 bolts on your right, then twist the fixture so you can have better access to the 3rd and final bolt.

Just wanted to say thanks guys... It wasn't too bad at all. On my 99 GS, it was easy to get to the 3 screws under the housing on both sides, once I had the car jacked high enough. The only thing that sucked is that those screwheads were pretty stripped, but a little WD-40 worked them loose easily.
