Default C-5 fog lamp bulb replacement procedures

I'm looking for procedures to replace the fog lamp bulbs on a '98. I'm sure its easy, but difficult to tell by looking at them...thanks.

Turn on your headlights, remove the shroud screws (I think three) and the shroud. You can reach straight down, feel for the lamp, twist the lamp socket and pull out. Then just replace and reverse the procedures. It only takes one person to change this light bulb, but it takes a long time and the light bulb has to want to change :U

I just raised the hood and turned the headlights to the up position. It alloewd just enough room for me to stick my hand down to the foglight bulb and replace it. It's takes a little twisting, but it saves a lot of time. :cheers:

:iagree:

But I put in the 895's I think it was instead of the OEM #. They were 50w instead of 35w like the oem bulbs. And they are a good bit brighter.
