Changing the bulb in the fog light, hard?

Hey guys,

A fog light went out in my GT.

It seems to be a pretty tight space between the radiator support and the fog light housing. (once you take off the top plastic tray).

Can anyone walk me through the steps to change it out?

When one of mine went out, I replaced them both with SilverStar Ultras. All I did was remove the radiator cover and then reach down and twist out the bulb/plugs with my finger tips. I have big hands so it was hard getting back there, but the fingertip approach did the trick.

Disengage the top two clips holding the grille in. Just tilt the grille forward...Lots of clearance then....

And Plus one on the Silverstars....

+1. You need to unclip the top of the grill so that you can tilt it forward. However, I had trouble with mine and still had a tight squeeze. After that, it's just a matter of untwisting and pulling out the bulb.

I just did mine as described above about 2 weeks ago (except I put Yellowstars in). It was still a bit tight despite tilting the grill forward but I could get my hands in there.
