How to change fog light on '97 900S

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 7:51 am

Does anyone know how to change the foglight on ’97 900 series
(convertible if it makes a difference)?

I told my mom I would change her foglight, and now I realize it is not a
terribly intuitive task (as far as I can tell).  The dealer said I
needed to "drop the pan" if this makes sense to anybody.

Any pointers would be appreciated…

TIA,
John

  1. I cannot help directly, because I have never done it, I had the dealer
    do it.  They told me they had to put it on the rack and remove the
    entire air dam assembly from underneth.  

    I have latter been told you can remove the turn signal (read the manual
    on this) and reach down and remove the bulb.  Except I tried that and
    was unable to remove the holder.  Maybe there is a trick to it.

    Hope that helps.

  2. Hmmm…  thanks for the help… I might bite the bullet and take it to the
    dealer and pay the $48 they want to do it… I tried a similar procedure on my
    BMW M3 and ended up breaking a $35 part, and then having to install that as
    well :-( .

    Thanks very much for the help.
