One of my fogs on '02 is out. Two questions:

1. Best price/place to buy bulb?
2. Is it difficult to change myself or should I just take it to a shop?
3. I also need one of those parking light bulbs for the main housing. Where to buy?

I remember changing the fog light on my old SC400 was ridiculously difficult. Thanks!

You have to drop the front bumper, and it's a pain in the keester. If you do a search you will find various threads with directions/pictures. You may as well change both bulbs during the whole process. Before I converted mine to HID, I used the Silverstar replacement bulbs; they were noticeably whiter and brighter than the OEM bulbs. I bought them at Pep Boys. Good luck.

i tried for almost an hour w/o taking the bumper off. Just bite the bullet and remove the bumper first and dont waste your time trying to do it w/o removing it.

Good luck!

thats funny... you think i have the first clue on how to take the bumper off! ha! taking it to davenport motors, they're usually pretty reasonable. i'll update on a price when i call them tomorrow

bumper has to come off. its much easier and plus u want to replace the parking bulb in the main housing so its best just search for the thread to remove front bumper. GL

For anyone who needs them, i have 2 x used, stock white H3 55w fog light bulbs. I replaced with piaa ion-crystal 55w=85w. been driving in fog a long time, and they usually makes a big difference but not on the sc430. PM me.

Texas-Sewell and PP will match Davenport's prices usually and you get a nice IS and the other amenties (and perhaps they are closer to you???) if you price shop.

I had Sewell quote me an hour labor to do both the fog lights with LED's and my 68 series bulbs on the side of my headlights, which wasn't bad. Car wash, loaner car etc might be worth it? Check it out.

...I replaced a fog light bulb a few months back,without removing the bumper.I did remove front whelel and fender well lining...getting it out was very easy,getting back in a little tricky...took me about an hour or so... ed

Should take you 10 minutes to take off the bumper. I just installed HID foglights last saturday.. The washer fluid reservoir was a pita because it was connected to the headlight washers and i had nothing to plug it.. Soo i just let my washer fluid drain all overthe floor.. Im thinking about removing the headlamp washers off the bumper since they seeM to be useless.
