Default Fog light help

Pass side fog light not working and when going to inspect it I discovered that it wasn't connected. How do I get inside the housing to reconnect and change bulb? Remove bumper? Thanks

Looks like the bulbs missing so just add a bulb and then reinsert it in the tube that goes to the fog light.

Only other possible problem would be if the bulb fell off in the housing.

Didnt see the year listed but my 87 doesn't have an access door to get to the fog lights that I know of.

no door on that one.


Look at your passenger side first. You will see the bulb sockets easier on that side. Look for wires going to a round thing behind your lamp assys. Usually a 1/4 turn to the left then pull out. The bulb comes out. The drivers side is harder to see. You'll have to unbolt the horn and maybe the charcoal emissions can to get to them. Hope that helps.

Ok I see, thanks for the responses. So apparently the piece with bulb attached has fallen off in the housing. How do I get inside housing?

I would buy the bulb and try to put it in. I believe you need to pull the bumper. or just turn your fogs off. it looks like the clip is still there so the bulb should be out. be a good time to upgrade both.

Shining a light from the backside (from under the hood) would help you see if there is a bulb in there. Plus like antfarmer2 mentioned trying to put a bulb in will let you know if somethings blocking you.
