Changing Fog Lamp Bulb

[BigDirtyJase]

Hi,

Silly question...how do you change the fog lamp bulb in the bumper? I want to change it to a white bulb so it mixes in with the lights

Thanks in advance

funny you should mention this as I was looking to do the same thing as I had the front bar off over the weekend. the problem being is its not actually the bulb that is yellow its a lens so I think you might need to either remove the lens ( if there is a way ) or bash it out

but one thing you may need to look at is - usually when they compliance the cars they cut the wiring loom leading to the fog lamps. its supposed to stop you from turning them on but its not hard to recreate the connectors etc as *at least in my case * the retaining clips etc were still there.

Yeah I thought they were meant to cut these during compliance but mine are still connected up and work fine

Never had to change them, but my guess would be that the yellow lens thingy comes out - maybe held on by a couple screws or something. but I had a nissan silvia which has indicators on the front bar - looks quite similar, and with those you could access them from the front of the car...

I dunno I had a look when I was there and didnt see anything obvious

I *thought* I saw tthe back of a rivet ( that you might be able to drill out ) so maybe that would work

let me know how you go as I wouldnt mind a set of " driving lamps"

You need to break the inner yellow lense out as it is a sealed unit.

Remove the globe and jam something thru the hole which is hard and blunt to brake the inner lense into small enough pieces to fit back thru the hole.

Break them up small then shake the lense upside down and the bits will fall out.

DO NOT LOOK INTO THE THING WHEN DOING THIS. it may be an idea to wear safety glasses.

after a few goes & lots of smashing all the bits should end up on the floor, then stick the bulb back in and viola! white lights...

Is the series 2 high beams have the yellow lens or is a yellow light bulb??

Main reason why i'm asking is that I want to make all my lights white so it matches the xenon lights
