Replace Fog Lights '03 Bonneville

[irishrenegade35]

so yea ive been trying to figure out how to replace the bulb in my 03 Bonnie driver side fog light and it seems that it is hard to get at. If im looking down from the top it looks like the headlight is in the way...do i need to take it off before i get at it?? and if i come from the bottom there is a plastic skid plate blocking access...anyway question is (and im sure its simple ) is there an easy way im not seeing??

also any recommendations on headlight bulbs? i want good ones that can give my car a nice look and also help me see alot better...

You get at them from the bottom, it's not too bad once you get under there. You don't need to remove that deflector on the SLE/SSEi models, but since the fog lights are placed differently, i'm not sure about your SE.

As far as headlight bulbs, a search will get you tons of results. you can retro 9005 high beam bulbs into your low beam side (in place of 9006). I did this, and love the extra output. There are also threads on upgrading the headlight wiring, since it all runs through that little headlight switch in your dash. According to those that have done it, just the wiring mod improves output also.
Personally, i wouldn't go with any blue or white looking lgihts, as they glare a lot worse in rainy or snowy conditions but some people don't seem to mind
