I noticed last night that one of my fog lamps is not working.
I haven't really looked into it much, but is this a special
bulb, and is it replaced from the front or from the back
side of the bumper ?

Probably the bulb. If memory srves me it's an H3. You can get to it by popping out the rubber plug in the tire side of the fenderwell.

Robert:

The Gen 2s (don't know if it's the same with yours - check) bulbs get replaced thru the leading (front) edge of the wheel well. There's a round hole with a plug that is designed to scrape all the skin off your knuckles while you reach in and pull the lamp and attached wire (which is so short that you're left with about 2" beyond the access hole) out to replace the bulb. Why the HECK they couldn't make the d*mn hole 1" wider is beyond me!!! (Think of weight it would save

) You may want to think about upgrading the replacement bulb(s) while your shredding your hands. The PIA 85 Watt seems to be the preferable choice (much brighter and whiter and will not give you a overheating wire problem) but someone else may have another suggestion.

Remember to turn the wheel all the way in to make it easier to access.

BTW: Does anyone else find it odd that the software check on our site "rejects" the word "d*mn"? In this day and age, is this word really that hazardous? Peculiar!

thanks for the advise......
h3 bulbs, access panel at the front of the inner fender
well, remove the wheel for easy acsess, and replace both
lamps at the same time.
