Fog Lights

[Algernon]

How do I replace fog lights on my 2001 is300? I can't seem to get to the bulbs. It's behind the bumper. It seems that I would have to remove the bumper or dust cover. I just don't want to screw anything up. Replacing a bulb just seems too simple to take to the dealer...

I think he means the fronts Gordy..

PITA job

Remove the wheel, remove the wheel arch tabs, pull back the wheel arch liner and remove the bulbs from the back.

Awful job!

[Gord]

Just turn your wheel and take some of the plastic clips out that are holding the plastic inner wing in place, put your hand in and change the bulb :D

seeing as its 4 / getting on for 5 years old, the bulbs might have corroded into the holder and you may have to take the front bumber off to get at them properly

Lexus Jim is right, i had that problem with the left hand side one. Better to take out the entire fog light unit. Its a B****** job as well mate.

[Rob]

it is not a big job! peel back the arch liner and you have full access to the whole fog light assy, bolts u can do from the front.

expect the aluminium bulb holder to be a crumbling mess tho. If you get new ones, coat the holders in wax, or silicone that peels off easily if required

just changed my front fog bulb.undo small bolt just inside vent next to fog lamp at front of bumper,slide lamp out,undo cable conection.once fog unit is out you can change bulb.then refit......15-20mins.........took me longer to pluck up courage to go outside in the cold. :)

the fogs have a catch clip on the opposite side to the two bolts

you need access from behind to release it

although once its been taken out it generally never works again, and they will just slide out

be carefull of the wiring, its only just long enough if you are lucky :o
