Re: Changing Fog Lamps

I have a 95 900S, and have changed the passenger side fog lamp. They =
certainly didn't make this an easy task.
It's been a couple of years since I did this, so I don't remember it =
exactly, but I'll pass along the notes that I had
made for myself in the event that I had to do it again.

FOGLIGHT LAMP REPLACEMENT: (HALOGEN H3 12V, 55W)
1) Remove plastic cover behind front bumper on appropriate side. This is the
black plastic panel that that goes from the center of the = car and runs up
to the wheelwell on either side. These panels overlap in the middle. Maybe a
half a dozen small screws per side.(IIRC, 8mm heads) You may want to raise
the front end of the car for this; I usually just = drive the front wheels up
on a 2 x 4 to gain an extra 2'. (I know, 1-3/4' = actually)

2) Once the panel is removed, you should be able to access the rear of = the
foglamp assembly. There's not a lot of room to work in, though. Using a
right-angle racheting #2 = phillips screwdriver,=20 remove the one screw on
round black cover at rear of foglamp. I don't = actually own a tool like
this, I take a 1/4' rachet drive with a 1/4' socket, then insert a short =
phillips bit from a drill-driver set in the socket. A piece of tape jammed
between the bit and socket keeps it from falling = out.

3) Unclip bulb and disconnect 1/4' spade terminal on pigtail.

4) Reverse procedure to install new lamp. Don't touch the glass on the new
bulb with your finger, I usually snip = the bottom of the cellophane pouch
the bulb comes in to expose the = terminal(s), and pull the cellophane off
once the bulb is plugged in. The plastic panel takes a bit of fiddling to get
back in; compare the = the other side to be certain you've got it in
correctly.

Hope this helps.
Jim
