    A rock busted one of my fog lights and I'm getting ready to put new ones in.

    Does anyone know if it is easier to access them through the grill or the inner tire fender cover?
    Someone recommended that I go through the inner fender cover, but that looks like a lot of rolling around on the ground to get to the for lights. The grill comes out pretty easily and appears I might be able to take it out and reach down to the fog lights.
    Just not sure if I can access the back of the fogs through the grill opening....


    Anyone have any experience with this?

    This is just a factory for OEM replacement of fogs on a 2014 DCSB.

    Its probably going to be easier to crawl under the front of the truck to access the fog lights. There is plenty of room to work that way. I can't imagine trying to take them out from above.

    thanks for the reply.
    By crawl under the front, do you mean leave the plastic inner wheel well cover in place and just reach straight up?
    Or do I still need to remove the bottom of the well cover coming in from the bottom?

    Yea, I know it seems petty trying to figure out how to get to fog lights but I don't get the much time off work and if I can do this quickly and efficiently the first time instead of a lot of trial and error it will help me a lot.
