Well if Pontiac Design has been holding true, I would believe you would have to remove the headlight to get down into the front bumper since its probably blocked by the inner wheel fenders from below. I have never had one apart myself yet but it could just be as simple as turning a clamp off and pulling the bulb out from there.I could be wrong... sorry no tech diagrams.

I don't have a pic but I've had mine out.slide under the front and unplug the bulb then place a small flat blade screw driver under the side clip and lift then push the rear of the lamp so it comes out the front of the facia.there is nothing on the other side to loosen it comes out quite easy.after you replace the bulp just push it back in the opening in the facia untill it snaps back in place. and plug the bulb back in. hope this helps

huh. I replaced my bulbs no problem without ever removing the light housing itself... but my problem I discovered last night - I must have had a rock fly up and crack my passenger side foglight! Anybody replace one of these yet? How much am I looking to pay at the dealer? Should I bring my own vaseline? Pete

I have replaced the lamps.they are around $150.00 each, supply your own vaseline.i pulled mine out when i put my fog lamps in because i wanted room, not much room lying on your back in the garage with no light under there.

There's just a crack across the whole lens so far, I guess I'll leave it alone for now, maybe I can custom fit some PIAA's or CATZ or something in those factory openings...Pete

i'm trying to work on replacing the entire assemblies with aftermarket ones and then wiring it so i can turn them on and off separately. i'll let you all know how we do.... it's a father/daughter projectl.
