How to change the fog light bulbs

Ok. I searched all over the forums and web for DIY instruction and couldn't find any. The ones I found are very old and all the links are broken. If anyone has detailed instructions with pics, please help me. I just can't figure out how to get the damn plastic cover off... I'm trying to do this without removing wheels. Thanks in advance.

Turn wheels all the way to left or right depending on the side you're working on. Lift the car up a few inches using a floor jack and remove some of the clips holding the inner fender liner. Pull the liner down a little and you will have access to the clip and plug to the fogs.

I was trying to do that but couldn't figure it out... Do I remove clips and pull down from the bottom front or in the top part?

A little of both, and removing the clips. If I remember correctly, you will notice the front and rear liners are hinged together. Once they're unhinged, pull down on the front liner to gain access to the bulbs.

i found it easiest to take of the wheels, pull back the fender by removing all tabs and bolts, and then you have direct access to the back of the headlight, worked out great

I tried for second time today and finally succeeded after an hour of trying Once I figured it out, it only took me 10-15min to do the other side I was cussing out Nissan engineers for making it such a PITA to change freaking bulbs the whole time... haha. I jacked up the car a little with the wheels turned to one side and that gave me enough room to work on everything. I put in PIAA Xtreme whites in clearance strips and clear corners, and put in MTEC 4350k H4 bulbs in fog/high. I love the look... everything is clean white Thanks everyone for help and suggestions.

Thumbs up EBay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

This is the EBay auction I won for my MTEC's. I had my bulbs 3 days later. they were packaged well (i.e., protected from damage).

Give this guy a try.
