you'd have to take your bumper out to replace the fog unfortunately....

you can install and uninstall them w/o removing the bumper, its just a lot more work. are you trying to instal the fogs into the black housing, or the black housing and light onto the bumper?

the black housing and light onto the bumper. I was hoping I could do it w/out removing the bumper, but I knew in the back of my head I would have too to make it easier on my life. Thanks. would you guys point me in the right direction to remove my bumper in a quick fast way. thanks again

nah, you dont have to. ive removed and reinstalled them with the bumper on before. basically they have to snap into place (it takes a bit of work and alignment) then there are 2 bolts (or nuts) that hold the housing in place near the lamp, and one more bolt that mounts it on the bottom (on one of the plastic skid plates)

i cant find any diagrams in the service manual, so a verbal description is the best i can do.

ok, is there a certain part that you are hung up on, or you just want to have an idea what to do before you get started?

i really cant explain much more to the install, its real basic. if you are hung up on something then i might be a bit more of a help. other than that, the basic install has been covered in my last post.

alright. well im stuck on just how to get it started. im at work right now so i can't really take a good look at the hole where the fog light goes right now. but i looked at it earlier and i could probably snap it into place but how would i be able to screw the nuts and what not into place?

I think by just going through the fender wheel & the under guard & turning the wheel to the left or right...

that's how I took my fog light out...

kind of the same way you take out the Intake resonator or install a cold air intake....

either way... just make sure you have a flashlight ... those bolt take a while to get out...

get a socket wrench... much easier

i took mine out from under the car, i just removed the under tray and got to work. it was some what difficult to reach the lamps though.
