Fog bulb replacement

Jeramiah · #1 (**permalink**) 08-28-2006, 11:48 PM

I am sorry if this is a thread topic that is out there. If so please point me to it. I am new to the site. I just purchased a 99 NB. My driver side fog light is out. I bought a new bulb for it. But here lies my question. After I twist the fog lamp housing unit and it comes off and I pull the electrical wire to the buld how do I get teh bulb out. I pulled, twisted pushed twisted any help.

Thanks.

There is a retaining clip. It hooks just above the bulb, squeese clip and rotate downwards. Bulb should come out with a gentle pull.

Thanks. And thanks for the help on the bulb. Its a pian in the rear when you can not get your head under the car to see what yuo are doing. After pulling hard on something that I thought was the clip the bulb came out. It was the clip. But then to get that clip to re-atatch was a even bigger of a pain.
