Told ya.

There are no secrets really. I remember using some crazy combinations. Like a bit driver on the end of a small ratchet or something. It was a long time ago. I also remember finally getting the housing out, and then not being able to open it up and having to use pb blaster on the screws. Took hours.

A week later, my bud changes his fog light bulbs in his 2ga, and I'm doing one side while he changes the other, and on 2ga, the housing just pops out with a simple push. I almost shit myself.

Lol, pwned.

I replaced them with some blazer projector fog lights that I bought from a different forum.
Only thing is that I trew a 3000k hid kit on them.

ok I am just confused so do I take out the 4 torx security bolts and the adjustment then what. do i remove the boltes that are bolted to what looks like the bumper support?

if i remember correctly i did it in under and hour. Remove the whole assembly from the bumper its like 2 bolts( i believe looks at your hanes). Then you have 4 screws to take the cover off, there the star ones but they have a dot in the middle for a special key i just pounded the star bit in. Once the cover is off its just a matter of bulb out and bulb in.

I agree with Frew.....I found it easier to just to remove the whole front bumper cover cause tryin to jack up the car and get behind everything just wasn't gettin me anywhere....

got it done pictures up soon but frew was not saying remove the whole bumper cover he was saying the housing of the fog light

I changed mine recently very easy. Just open up the owners manual it tells you how. Once your in the housing just pop the the metal thing keeping the bulb in place off then disconnect the bulb. It would've been alot easier if the previous owner didn't nearly strip all the bolts though! Alot of careful unscrewing
