Replacing Fog Lights on 2002 Sub

[caylerman]

I am looking for help on two items. First, how do I replace the bulbs in my fog lights and two, which bulbs would you recommend? I am looking for bulbs brighter than the ones currently in place. Thanks for the help.

Hmm, I'm not sure what's in the burb, but my 'Rado came with 27 watt bulbs. I swtiched them out with 38's and that improved things a little. I then went with 38 watt silverstars when I replaced the other bulbs(headlights, brights) and they look good.

Go underneath the front bumper and you will see the rear of the fog lamps, just twist the bulb holder and it should just pop out from the housing. Once that is out just remove the bulb. The stock bulb is Halogen. I replaced my fog Lamp bulbs with Silverstars and hardly noticed a difference in brightness at all.

Don't put 55 watt bulbs in.

 

They will melt the housings, trust me.

Have you messed with the adjustment at all? I had the same problem, and I found out that they have to be adjusted "just right" to be effective. .

I went to a parking lot and placed my truck about 25 ft from a wall and adjusted them that way, just below where the headlight beam was on the wall. It has seemed to work fine, if you still find them too high or low when you drive you can adjust them from there. Make sure your headlights are in adjustment before you do this operation.
