How do you replace the fog lamp assembly on a 2006 Ford Explorer XLT?

Answer 1

Turn the lamp assembly counterclockwise to remove the bulb. If theres a post there you can finagle it around it to complete the turn. Then there are three posts that hold the fog light assembly in place. Each post has three black tabs that need to be compressed to pull the lamp out trough the hole. I used a 13mm long socket that I put down over the tabs and then put a thin screwdriver down throught the middle of the socket to push it out of the frame. You'll have to do each one separately. Just work your way around and be careful not to let them move back into place. When I got mine out I found a melted area with a crack in ti that has been letting moisture in. That's what caused the bulb to go bad. Please let me know if you experienced the same thing. swyto1234@Yahoo.com
