how do you open up 97+ foglights?
Ok,
I've seen a bunch of posts on how to open up and clean headlights
but how do you open up 97+ foglights?
I see 4 tabs one each side where the lense attached to the housing.
Any tips on opening them up for cleaning?
I worried about cracking the lense
Are the tabs push down? looks like I can see another piece in the hole with the tab.....
thanks

I'm going to assume you have to heat them up to pull them apart just like the headlights.

You heat up the headlights in a preheated oven to open them up.
Not for the foglights though.

So what's the procdure for taking apart the fogs?
wouldn't heating it make the tabs a little easier to push
(even if you don't have to soften up the sealant)

So you bake them and push the tabs in to remove the lens?
If so, I stand corrected and apologize to gunnar
