Fog Lamp Bulb Replacement Help
 
I have searched and read all available posts including the instructions in the Articles section. I can get the trim ring off, the two screws securing the fog lamp housing come out as easy as can be....... when I try and remove the fog lamp housing it will wiggle but not come out.

The Article says "pull out with upward motion to release clip". I sat there for 20 minutes trying to get either fog lamp out. What is the trick to this????? I did not want to pull to hard. If anyone who has done this can help me out I would appreciate it!!!!!!!

finally someone with the same problem i had...everybody said it was extremely easy...the trick, as i remember it, is to lift up the front part of the housing, and don't hesitate to put a little force into it

Did you get the Hoen bulbs?
Just pop out the trim ring with a a small flahead screwdriver.
Then take out the 2 screws. You will have to wiggle it around and then pull it out.. good luck!!

Just keep wiggling it until it pops out. That's the trick!!

While pulling towards you, use something to force the fog light assembly up and out at the same time..
I used a screwdriver with a towel wrapped around it.
