How to remove foglight housing to replace

Whatsnext · 01-28-2017, 11:23 AM

My lens of my foglight housing is cracked due to a rock hitting it. I have a replacement one now and not sure if you gain access from the front or need to go underneath the car. Just wanting to size up how much time I need to allocate this weekend to switch it out.

Where did you get replacement lense? Mine is glass and have to buy complete fog light housing for like $150. I could not find just the glass lense anywhere.

An Ebay seller is selling the housing with lens for $45 shipped for the Sport model and a couple bucks less for the regular model.
