How to access foglamps with ACS bumper?
I looked at the DIY section which was very informative, and would have been helpful IF the grill section on my ACS bumper wasn't completely sealed. Is the other way to access the foglamps through the fender well? Also need the same access points to change out the reflector as well. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.



Changed the AE bulbs out today with the PT Thunder bulbs, and look remarkably better!

I was already to change out my fog light bulbs when I realized....the ACS bumper is a single molded piece! Any other suggestions?

not sure what you mean here... did you get to the reflectors as in the link? To change out the fog bulb you get to it from the inside... same area you have access to the reflectors. If you can reach further in to where the fogs are, the bulb and its housing is there and you twist it off then replace.

Yes, got the clear reflectors and wanted to change them along with the fog lamp bulbs at the same time as it is in the same area. Problem is that my front bumper is 1 single peice and does not seperate like the one in the DIY photo. Anybody out there with an aftermarket 1 peice bumper run into this problem?
