  • help with replacing fog light bulbs

    Ok, today i went out and bought replacement bulbs and tried to change them for my 99 firebird. I went under the car and noticed that a 3/8 is too small for the bolts and a 7/16 is too large? This is for my plastic covering. I was wondering, anyone have any suggestions on how to go along and gett hsi done?

    It's metric, just like everything else on the car.

    I think I used either a 9mm or 10mm, but I'm not really sure... haven't done it in a while.

            Just use some pliers... they shouldn't be too tight.

              i tried and tried, but nothign worked. For some reason, there are nuts behind it. I think some1 worked on it b4 and put the screws in wrong. I hate dumbasses like that. I'm just gonna drill the screws out and replace them.

                put your car in ramps once up on both side on the bottom of the bumper there's 3 push pins pull them out once out u could pull on it and u be able to reach your foglights from behind and changed the bulb is very easy i done 3 times already. And for the bolt try using a 12 point socket it would do the trick. I hope this help
