Does anyone know how to get the fog light out on a second gen? Not just the bulb the whole thing.

    I'm doing the Cali rasied pod conversation but can't quite figure out to get stock fogs out. There's a little turn nozzle if been turning forever and it loosens but doesn't come out? Anyone know how to do this? Thx

    Just reach in back and squeeze tabs and pull out. Mine weren't even that tight.

    You could smack into a stump, that seemed to remove mine just fine.

    That's the fog lamp height angle adjustment knob/screw/bolt. Sit on floor, with one hand grab the lamp housing from behind, push horizontally to the outside of vehicle, you'll see the tab come almost all the way out from the bumper housing. The bumper flexes so with other hand push into the slot where the fog lamp is caught releasing it. If you didn't release the wire it'll hold the lamp so you don't drop it and crack it.

    Just did this yesterday. Pull the blue clips out (flathead helps), and then on the exterior of each light there are 2 phillips head screws. Use a very short screwdriver. I'm pretty sure that's all it took.
