How do you get to the foglights in a 98 ES300? i need to replace them but i can't for the life of me figure out how to get the assemblies off!!

Thanks in advance.

 

Are you just replacing the bulbs, or the whole light assemblies?

 

just the bulbs

 

Remove the bolts from the lower splash shield under the bumper to get to the back of the fog light, then remove the bulb and put in new one.

 

its actually not as easy as it seems. inspect closely and you should be able to figure it out. also search around, if i remember right, there is some info on this.

you turn the bulb cap to loosen/remove it. connected through this cap are the wires to the actualy bulb of the fogs. its a little bulb. but then i believe you should have some clip holding it in place.

goodluck

btw, since you are putting in a new bulb, you should do the other side as well. not necessary, but should be done.

 

yeah i'm replacing both. i brought my car to my mechanic today for a power steering leak and he said he'd put them on for me. i have a feeling he won't remember so i'm probably still going to need this info. Thank you!

 

I have prepared the ULTIMATE GUIDE for changing foglights (with pics) - You don't even have to get under the car!

Very nice writeup! I have taken my headlights out lots of times but never thought about changing the fog light bulbs this way.

Doing it from underneath is a major PITA! Those plastic clips are impossible to remove without breaking them. That is the biggest problem underneath.
