Finally got my car back. The total bill was 4500 dollars to fix the car, which Arrowhead's insurance paid for and I also come away with about 800 dollars loss of use for my car since I didn't need a rental. They did a really good job (Franks Auto Body in Huntington Beach). They even re-applied the Xpel to the front bumper and did a really good job.

My problem:

I want to change the fogs to GS400 fogs or even just change the bulbs. What is the easiest way I can accomplish this. It looks like you have to unscrew the fogs from the back, but I don't know how to get to them.


Does anyone have any ideas?


Thanks, Mike

yes they are screwed from the back. The easy way to do it would be to take the screws off the inside wheel well and you should be able to reach inside to get the fog lights out, at least thats how I did it.

They replaced my RMM grill too. I must say that the new grills quality and fitment REALLY SUCKS. My old RMM grill was a lot better quality and fit SOOOOOO much better.

Henry, when did you get your front bumper?

nop, it's not my car i was taking off the fogs for my friend and i discovered that pain

the rmm bumper isn't that hard to take off if you have the right tools. There are two 10 mm nuts on the left and right sides near the headlights. These are the guys that are a pain the butt unless you have a socket extension that can snake around obsticles (dunno what its called) and and a deep socket. With these tool, I can take apart my RMM bumper in 15 minutes. However, I also don't have the bottom engine cover which itself has hella screws.

When Henry was over swapping fogs, I think we tried using just a normal socket wrench and its such a pain to get your hands in that area.

i put arrows where the two nuts I'm talking about are located.

ya i admitt the grill isn't very strong but i don't think is really has 2 b that strong 2 begin with, but still could have been made better

Thanks for the input guys, I am going to try to change the bulbs this weekend. I am going to try to go through the bottom. If not, take the lining off from the wheel well and try it way.
