How to Repair a Fog Light

How to Repair a Fog Light

Modern cars, trucks and SUVs come equipped with a variety of lights to aid in driving. Headlights, parking lights, turn signals, brake lights, tail lights and fog lights all work on the same basic principle and are only as useful as the light bulb they contain. If you notice a fog light has stopped working, the problem is almost certainly a broken bulb. This should be replaced right away.

Instructions

    1

    Park your vehicle in a work friendly area. It should be relatively flat and have ample light to work by. Turn of the engine and let the automobile sit for 30 minutes to completely cool down.

    2

    Slide underneath the front bumper of your automobile to the spot directly behind the broken fog light. Locate and remove any dust covers blocking access to the interior of the fog light assembly. Most are held on by clips or small screws.

    3

    Unplug the wiring harness from the back of the fog light assembly. Reach in and grasp the light bulb. Turn it to the left to remove it from the socket.

    4

    Insert the replacement bulb and turn it to the right to lock it in place. Plug the wiring harness back in. Replace the dust cover.
