Replacing fog lamp bulbs

1. Make sure the fog lamp switch is
in the O (Off) position.

2. From underneath the vehicle,
partially remove the tire splash
shield by removing four drive
screws.

After removing to allow free access
to the front fog lamp bulb and
electrical wire harness, the splash shield flap can be repositioned.

3. Rotate the harness/bulb assembly
counterclockwise to remove from
the fog lamp.

4. Carefully disconnect the bulb
from the harness assembly via the
two snap clips.

Install the new bulb in reverse order.
