Ok what's the trick ???? First thing I have tried to do on the bird on my own and I'm stumped !! The left front fog light was out when I bought the bird and now I'm begining to think that's why the guy was williing to part with his beloved Vert. I went , or should I say SQUEEZED, under there last night, took out 9 - 12mm bolts holding the left cowling up and pushed and twisted my hand up in there to light. I can feel it and sort of see it but I can't see how anybody could get that bulb out of there! I know there must be a trick to this. The front cowling is held up with these little plastic ribets that don't seem to want to come out without breaking them. So after an hour I pulled my bloody hand back down out of there and gave up! Hoping someone on here can give an old teenager, (with his new hot rod), some tips on how to do this without all the blood and pain !!

haha, my buddy and I where just looking at this on his 94 TA. We havent done it yet, but i think there are just single screws holding them in on the front of the light in the front bumper. Lay down on the ground and look at the lens, there's a single screw above them, I think thats how you do it.

Well I did it !!!! Got back under there yesterday and finaly got that bulb changed ! Had to pull the Three plastic pins on the underneith of the cowling. pull the cowling out of the way then you have access to the two 10mm bolts holding the Foglight bracket in place. Take out these two bolts and the whole assembly comes out. There is enough wire on them so you can pull them down and see what you are doing. The plug on the back has a catch on it and when released you can unplug it then bring the whole fog light bracket out to replace the bulb. Putting it back together was super easy once I knew what I was doing. The whole operation only takes about half an hour if you do it right. I did have some trouble pulling those plastic pins but I am thinking there is some type of "GM" tool to do this. I pulled them with a pair of pliars and smashed the plastic heads a bit in doing so. Dose anyone know where I can by these ? I got them back in with out a problem but Now that I know how to do it I wish I would have bought the blue high intense lights and replaced them both while I had it apart. I also found that the bracket was broken on this light and was being held down on the adjusting screw with a wire tie. The lens are also both pretty scratched up so I guess I will just replace both lights and assemblys next time I get under there. But for now at least I not looking like a one eyed bandit when I turn one my fogs !!!! Thanks for all your help and if anyone needs more infro on this please write me here or on my personal E-Mail and I will gladly try and talk you through it.

Just making sure...can any 800 series bulb replace a different 800 series bulb?

Don't know if this helps and this is for 97 but I doubt it changed much from 96
