I don't understand the comment below about a : sealed unit, and I think I paid about $45 to have the dealer replace the : bulb. It took about half an hour, and I don't understand how replacing : the whole unit would take two hours. Perhaps the dealers have some : special tools. What I mean by the sealed unit is that if the *lens* is broken, you replace the whole unit, not just the lens. Obviously, if the bulb is burnt out, you just replace the bulb, and you don't even need to pull the unit. Well, it took me a long time because I couldn't figure out how some of the pieces came off and I was afraid of breaking things. No special tools would have helped. Also, because my car has the secondary air injection, I had to remove that before I could remove the foglamp assembly. : andrewunix wrote: :> :> Mon, 14 Apr 2003 15:32:48 GMT, mkarinnopsamhlink.net suggested: :> : I have a 97 900SE with a broken fog light on the left side. :> : :> : Any suggestions on how to remove and replace it? :> :> It's a bigger job than it would seem.
