Technical term here, folks^^ "Thingy"...lol

Besides a few (very few) bolts on the car, most everything on the car is
10mm :-) One of the things I love about my car.

There is a small rubber grommet in the foglight mount, and a metal "pin"
on the foglight housing that fits on it. You will need to do a bit of
wiggling (another technical term here folks...eat them up) to get the
housing loose from the mount, and it will require a certain amount of
force, but like Chris said, "DON'T PULL TOO HARD - there is an
electrical connection at the back..."
<<Then just turn the plastic backing and pop out the burnt bulb.>>
There is a goofy piece of twisted metal that holds the bulb in place.
Squeeze it over to one side, and then let it hinge away from the bulb.
There are two connections (maybe one....it's been awhile) that will have
to be unplugged to get the bulb out. It's a bit of a hassle to get one
of the connections off, but again, practice makes perfect.
When you put in the new bulbs, make sure that you DO NOT TOUCH THE NEW
BULB.
Halogen lights get very hot and if you touch the bulb, you will get your
skin's natural oils on the bulb. This oil (when presented to the bulb's
surface) cuts the bulb's life down to about 3 weeks.
I'm speaking from experience here, so please take heed. Changing out the
bulbs is pretty easy, once you know how, but it is not something that
you want to do 4 times in 3 months. (1 set my fault, 2 sets of defects,
stock bulbs put back in w/no problems since).
<<Once you get the hang of it, it can be done in like 2 minutes.>>
Chris must be using power tools....wussy...lol
