Question
I need to replace the bulb. However: I can not get to it. Can you help?

Answer
BULB
CAUTION:  Do not contaminate the bulb glass by touching it with your fingers or by allowing it to contact other oily surfaces. Shortened bulb life will result.  



 
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the fasteners that secure the front of the front fender wheel house liner to the bottom of the front fascia. (Refer to 23 - Body/Exterior/SHIELD, Splash - Description) .
3. Pull the front of the front fender liner rearward far enough to access the back of the front fascia.
4. Reach under and behind the front fascia to access the front fog lamp housing on the back of the front fascia.
5. Disconnect the wire harness connector (1) from the fog lamp bulb connector receptacle.
6. Firmly grasp the bulb on the back of the housing and rotate it counterclockwise (2) about 30 degrees to unlock it.
7. Pull the bulb straight out from the keyed opening in the housing.
