As some of you know I am partially handicapped and can't bend much or lay down on my back. One of my fog lights is out, can these be changed from behind the bumper? Also, can you tell me what bulb is used. Thanks so much.

Yeah they are actually changed from behind the bumper. You should take the wheel off though to make it easier. Then remove the tire liner plastic piece and your should be able to feel around for the fog light. You have to twist and then the housing pulls out and you can replace the bulb which is an H1 bulb.

 

Hey Adam, Jaggys advice sounds good if I remember, although I seem to remember loosening the undertray a little that certainly helped.
H1 I think also iirc.

Surely there must be someone in the area that can help a brother out?
Shame you didn't live a little nearer to Thermo or the likes that would without doubt be willing to help I'm sure Adam

 

I am going to get my mechanic friend to fix it over the weekend, I'll pick up a bulb tomorrow and hope he can do it Saturday. As described it would be impossible for me to do this job. 12 years ago I could do almost anything to a car, then the back went, had operation and it has been worse even since. Thank You all as always.

 

My suggestion would be to jack the car up and remove some of the screws that hold the lower engine splash shield to the bumper. Once you have loosened the splash shield you should be able to remove the bulbs with out too much of a hard time.
