| Confirming foglight bulb replacement procedure
Just wanted to confirm the details before I commit to one of my Sunday projects. I need to replace the driver's side foglight bulb due to outage.
Bulb replacement: Sylvania H3
Remove black bezel surrounding the lens via two screws up top. Then pull out the bezel and I should be faced with three screws on the foglamp itself. Remove two of them but skip the "off-axis" one (which is used for vertical adjustment) and either the entire assembly or the lens comes out. Then just twist and remove the bulb, pop in the new one, and voila.
Does this sound accurate? |

Don't get any oil from your hands on the bulb. The quartz glass is very sensitive to that and will fail quickly. Keep it in the little plastic bag they come in and remove that after it is installed. If you do touch the bulb clean it with alcohol to remove any trace of oil.

yep thats how it sould work, make sure those little clips dont move for the bezel, its a pain in the butt to get them back in place if you have big fingers. |

From what I undestand, you should not have your fingers directly touching the bulb. When I changed mine out, I gripped the bulb in a clean shop towel. |
