How Do I Change My Fog Lights?
I know it'* kind of a Duh question but...
Both of the fog lights in my 02 SE have been out for almost a year now. The other day when I went to get a replacement bulb for a headlight that just went out, I decided I would go ahead and pick up a couple replacement bulbs for the fog lamps too.
Unfortunately, changing the fog lights was not as straight forward for me as changing my headlight. I didn't see any access to the bulb from below the car or from under the hood. I tried twisting and pulling on the assembly to try to get it out, but it didn't budge. Almost felt like I was going to break the fog light assembly.
So how exactly do I go about replacing these fog light? What am I missing?
Thanks for the help.

It'* easy I just did both of mine. Lay on your back reach under the bumper use a flashlight. They have a bayonette mount. When they are out unplug and plug in the new bulbs to the wires and replace them. Took me 5 minutes to do both on my 2002 SLE. Be careful not to mess with the aiming screws. Just take the bulbs out and replace. Wipe the bulbs with a cloth if you touch them before you replace them.

yah it does, I've taken it off before but GM had a great idea to use the clips that the centers pull out of to remove them, I think there were about 10-12 and I ended up putting 6 back just beacuse I had to break some to get them out
